Motorcycle batteries. Harley Davidson motorcycle batteries. Isn't that what this whole thread is about. Us dummies only get 3 to 5 or 7 years. But others get 20 years on a battery.

The article put up in this thread, not by me, discussing load testing batteries, was discussing VLA batteries that last 20 years. I replied about the article, and those batteries. Read the article. Its ok, I didn't put it up.

Me too. Back when he was in the shark with ape babbling. If his 6500 posts in a 2 year span and 150 likes (by the unknowing) dont tell you what you need to know, nothing will. Rounders in a nutshell

Learn to read 1048 likes. I need to start like other peoples posts more.

I have my beliefs based. I am not a back slapper who is just going to agree. I came here to discuss bikes. I am fine people disagreeing with me, since I came to a forum to discuss. Otherwise I would have read a book.

^^^^ It's been an hour and he hasn't responded to you. That's odd.

WAIT !!! Never mind. He posted while I was typing.

Your post specifically read, “ I get 20 years out of my batteries” verbatim. Stop it already. Just leave it alone. Por favor.

No reply requested or required. Move on.

Yes, did you read the article. They do load tests every 5 years on lead acid batteries with expected life of 20 years. I repeatedly said not automotice 12 batteries. One reason I am talking about this, is because it is something I am involved with in the real world. They are very expensive and last 20 years,

Not exactly the same as our batteries, we can't do resistive tests between cells. But much is the same. I am not the one who put the article up.
