    It would s&^% if they were backwards, so something to check although that one orange battery had them marked correctly.
    Now I gotta check that the sx is the same before I spring for them.

    Nice to see prices falling like computer accessories, for sure.
    We used the es battery to build a fence the other night.
    I bet it kept that H4 halogen high beam lit for at least an hour and still started the trike.

    I just wish the terminals were marked more clearly
    on the ebay pix.
    Guess if they're listed as for sx and es they should be ok.

    Not bad to kick start but sure gets old fast in this kinda weather
    with all kinds of work to do.

    funny with a slow battery mine won't start but if I walk it around to the compression stroke, it will fire in a 1/4 kick.
    I usually stand next to the trike facing backwards and kick it standing on the ground.

    Much easier with a bum leg.

    yeah, e start fer sure.

    Hey, when do we start worrying about starter gears?
    do they sound funny? or simply catastrophic fail?

    Man o man,m even I can tell I'm procrastinating.
    20 degreesF out
    and tons of work to do but this is much warmer

    Its a hassle for a seller to ship a Hazmat item to CA. Surely someone in CA is selling these batteries.

    So, I got the battery, and so far its been great. Fires right up, every time. Went out for a ride, no problems. Im honestly pretty impressed for the money, and now regret paying double that for the last one I bought.
