G'day
I replaced my battery t'other day because twice it didn't crank fast enough to fire up, but then it did for two days while I thought about it and ordered a new Yuasa replacement. Some of the thoughts:
Batteries are service items. Replaced at regular intervals.
Sometimes batteries last 2 years, sometimes 4 years.
Design people put a lot of time into designing the appropriate battery.
While quality does not always equal top dollar, sometimes you get what you pay for.
Now that I don't have a kick start (remember them?) and the system needs a bit of electricity to get fuel going, a reliable battery is very important. Underline reliable. If you have to put it on a tender every day it is not reliable.
Anyway, all my opinion only.
:-)
