Default Battery

Looking for a better battery then the stock one. When just sitting in the yard listening to music while mastering the grill the bike does just fine while playing music not blasting it at a competition level maybe for about 30 I will try to start the bike to recharge the battery but click click click dead battery. I even tried keeping it on a trickle charge but same results. So my question is there a better battery on the market that will last longer what is it ?

First go to Walmart or Best Buy and get an outdoor boom box u can listen to while ur grilling. Lol.
Yuasa or Stinger have some pretty killer sled batteries with good CCAs and AHs.

I'm with Tailwind on this one. There a plenty of Bluetooth speaker options that will cost you the same or less than a new battery.

96 watt hours, the converter I found says that equals 8 amp hours.

The overall purpose was to get longer battery life baby sitting a grill was just a small example. Im more concerned about being out and about and I have battery issues.

While the weight on those Stinger batteries sound pretty interesting, the 96 watt/hr sounds crazy low? Just run of the mill Yuasa replacement AMG's run about 500 CCA and 30-32 AMP/Hour which is approx 3-1/2 times more? No doubt those Stingers sound like nice batteries, but not for parking lot DJ's. What am I missing??

The more of the page you read the more often it says "scorpion batteries" I firmly believe the stick stinger in there to confuse people into believing it's a Stinger battery as in AAMP of America.
