Johnnie,
I bought a Yuasa YT12A-BS from Battery world for $142.
It lasted 1 month before it died.
I replaced it yesterday with a RoadStar from the local Suzuki shop for $72 The Roadstar is a CTX12A-BS I think.
Has anybody else had this sort of problem where a new battery doesn't last?
When I picked the Yuasa up from the shop it was packed and charged and they said it was ready to go straight into the bike. On the other hand the Suzuki shop insisted on putting the Roadstar straight on the charge for 2 hours before using it. They also checked the charging at idle and 5000 revs to confirm all was ok. (I had already checked but wasn't sure because the battery kept going flat).
The last straw for the Yuasa was when I threw it on the trickle charger for 15 hours and it still only showed 25% charge. Rgds BUSGO
