Funny to see this today as i just brought 1 this morning
see how it goes in the long term, brought it as a spare for the racebike as the Deka i have had since 04 or 05 its getting old and i expect it to give troubles when i can least afford it to , i actually would have brought another Deka but there is no local supplier anymore

Battery arrived today great price [cheaper than Ebay]
Thanks Mark, Fullbore busa

I dont use my bike much but allways have on trickle charge but only got just over 12 months out of a $150. Yuasa so i might give one of these mottobatt a go

Yep mine just crapped itself so i am looking for a new one as well

[DAVE01]

just fitted the battery,great fit and it even came with an allen key to suit the bolts it comes with.They also have 2x positive and neg posts, i will have to check but I think I will use the spare posts for the CTEK charger connections[permanent]

Twin terminals, eh? That's a damn good idea.

Rod, trickle charging is not the best thing to do to your battery and that could be the cause why your battery is not lasting.Trickle charging always keeps on toping your battery off,it never lets it go all the way down and up again,on the other hand the Ctek chargers (I have 3)use a Pulse wave that gives the battery the best option for longevity.As DAVE01 mentioned they also have a connector with a water proof rubber cap that you can permanently leave attached to the battery.

I have heard very good reports on that battery assuming its the all yellow cased body. Id be going for that next battery I need, but Yuasa so far gives me 9 yrs a battery so may be a while. Yea I optimate my batteries.
