Rechargeable YT14B-BS Replacement High Performance - Maintenance Free - Sealed AGM Motorcycle Battery

These work well, and are about the same cost as the eB ones. Fully sealed - you won't be messing with electrolyte liquids. They do not like deep-cycle use (AGM's seem to hate that near full discharge and attempt to recharge cycle - they'll only last about a year under those conditions.) Trickle charge them when not used for a couple days, and they'll last quite long (I've had them up to 4 years before no longer cranking properly). The one minor thing has nothing to do with the battery itself, but Amazon's battery compatibility chooser doesn't always work correctly.Remember, an L in the model number means (L)eft side negative terminal (plain, or non-red, or (-) facing the terminals nearest you). No letter L, or an R means the negative terminal is on the (R)ight-side. This particular YT(x)14B-BS showed correct for both my Yamaha FJR1300 and a Suzuki S40, but only fits the Yamaha correctly (the Suzuki needs the reverse position.) The BT LiPo batteries now have 4 universal terminals which eliminates this kind of issue. But quite annoying if the model chooser isn't always correct, as these are heavy items to go around returning. Check the Yuasa website or your manufacturer specs for the correct numbering. (the 14 means Amp Hours, generally speaking).

Have been buying batteries for years for motorcycles and I typically save online purchase for the lithium variety. This is the 1st time I have purchased an acid based battery online. With that said, I could not be happier. Unboxed, everything is there, good shape. Put it on smart charger, was 95% charged out of box. After a quick top off, I installed it in my Yamaha Raider (1900cc). Install was easy and straightforward and it had ZERO issues spinning the big 1900cc Vstar to life. Here are some observations that I think are important to note, especially with all the batteries I have purchased over the years and the subsequent things I have seen that frustrate me.1. This battery comes with substantial size bolts and lugs. That is so important to me. I attach accessories to the battery....both + and -. Alot of batteries come with tiny lugs, tiny bolts with tiny bolt heads. If you attach more than 1 ring then you are in trouble. Not this one. The head is good size so it tightens most rings without issue. More than 1 is not a problem as the lug is thick enough to attach to bolt and leave some space BEFORE tightening.2. The battery came 95% charged. Cant tell you the # I have purchased that are 1/2 charged.3. Documentation. It was simple, easy to understand. I am comfortable that I know what to do if I have an issue and Chrome will stand by it.Anyway, hope that is helpful for someone. Would highly recommend the battery. If it turns out to last only 90 days, I will update but I dont anticipate that being an issue.

Great replacement battery

Perfect fit for my 2014 CLA 250. Tip: use stirafoam to hold bolts in place while screwing in the connectors.

I bought this January 2019 and it lasted 4 years. I have a 2006 Yamaha stratoliner and the battery is hard to get in and out. I am ordering another one of these today for my bike I think if I can get four years for the price that’s a really good deal. I didn’t see any other battery that had greater expectations. I keep the bike parked inside and put it on the maintainer every now and then. It actually went bad while on the charger so it could have been my fault because it was pretty cold. But this is good bang for the buck

First battery went dead while under warranty. While that's a little disappointing obviously, their customer service more than made up for it, shipping me a replacement that came only a day later so I could get back on the road. Every battery no matter the brand is going to have a few duds here and there, but their response tells me they're a company that stands by and believes in the overall quality of their product. That's enough to get 5 stars from me, especially for the price.If I have any further issues, I'll amend this review. Until then, assume the new battery has been running great.

Doesn’t hold a charge, not worth it

Good cheap battery.. .pointless to buy anything else... just charge it when you first get it as they come 40% charged.. enough to start the bike but not full
