Hi Guys,
I have just been through the reverse of Busgo's experience. I got no life out of my last battery and have now put in a Yuasa that seems to be working well.
When I bought it the guy said that it should not be charged by a charger that puts out more than around 500mA; I think he recommended 350 mA. He said that heat from high charging amperage can bend plates and stuff up a cell. That was on the button for me as I was crook for a while and not riding the bike much. The battery would go flat and I'd leave it on an 8 amp charger for a few hours. Bad move!
Cheers Frank.
