I bought a brand new Yuasa battery last year and it died within 6 weeks.
I picked it up "Ready to go" from Battery World and was told it had been pre charged so I could get straight on the road.

It appears that the person who prepared it, charged it on a car battery charger overnight. This caused it to "sulphate" AND die. Battery World refunded my money in full after two days of their testing procedure.

I later read that a bike battery should be put on a very light trickle charge only for 4 to 6 hours unless it is a smart charger that cuts off as the battery reaches it prime condition.

The el cheapo battery that I replaced the Yuasa with was half the price and has been super strong so far.
