Default Time For A Battery

My 14 SG still has the OEM battery , it was sold new in early fall of 2013 so I'm at 5 years + and it's not showing a strong 14volts on my gauge when I turn it on the last week or so, under 13volts , never seen it display less than 14volts when I turn it on.

Pulled the tender off this morning and checked it with a meter , 14.5vdc ,

Then I turned the switch on and it dropped to 12.5vdc just powering it on

Hit the starter and it dropped below 9volts


It still starts but I'm not waiting till it leaves me stranded somewhere like on my trip next weekend so I came in and ordered this right away. I had the local power-sports store quote me $261 for this same battery , told them to pound sand. Haven't found a better price if your looking to replace yours.

I went to Batteries+ and got a Duracell one for about $100.

This battery really spins my 103 HO over better than it ever has , the OEM seemed to almost stall out trying to crank it over , 500 CCA gives it a little boost.

It's even cheaper now than the $139.00 I paid 12 days ago . . . . .
