Default Battery agm 3yr warranty 442cca $103.88 great for hot areas w-shorter battery life

AGM BATTERY-442CCA-3YR WARRANTY-$103.88 TO YOUR DOOR!

Just thought this Maint Free Factory Activated AGM battery with a stout 444CCA that has a full 3yr warranty for only $103.88 to your door could be a great option for guys living in hotter areas like AZ/CA causing batteries to fail prematurely in 1.5yr's - 2yrs - 2.5yrs or so.

Thats because bikes in those higher heat riding cond often have a shorter battery srv'c life of 2-2.5 yrs due to excessive heat and more use because bikes are rideden yr round there too so this AGM manint free 442CCA battery with 3yr warranty would have them covered up to 3 full yrs which is great & could save them considerable money.

Compair that to most batteries only having a 1 yr warranty or if your lucky 2 yrs,but only a few much more expensive batteries have a 3yr warranty so with that in mind this battery seem's to be a very good deal esp when covered for 3 full yrs.

I figure what's anyone got to loose if they decide to try this battery out because its covered for 3 full yrs .

All you have to do if it quits at 3yrs or less is have it load tested locally and present that information to the online seller as proof it failed the load test before 3yr warranty expired and you get a new replacement battery.

After you present the failed battery test rpt (send as a file online to the seller) they ship a new battery right out to you no questions asked.

But you have to get the failed battery recycled @ local autoparts store.

(See the bottom of this battery information for the response i received from the seller / battery vender when i asked about their warranty policy.)

So ck it out.

PowerStar PM30L-BS-HD battery H-D Battery
.12V 30Ah L = 6.61 x W = 5 H = 6.85


Batteries are shipped shipped charged and ready to install. 3 YEARWARRANTY. Our sealed motorcycle batteries feature Absorbed Glass Mat technology (AGM for short). This design dramatically improves a battery's performance in the following areas:

A) True sealed and maintenance-free design, you'll never have to check or add electrolyte again, unlike conventional batteries which require periodic fluid checks.
B) Liquid-free AGM design, will not leak or corrode on expensive paint and chrome, and also eliminates corrosion around the battery terminals.
C) AGM batteries have less internal resistance which allows them to produce more discharge current (cold cranking amperage) vs. comparable conventional ""wet"" batteries,and AGM batteries also recharge faster
D) Better resistance to both heat and vibration, a major cause of failure in conventional motorcycle batteries
E) Much slower self-discharge rate, (3% vs.15% per month) means longer periods between battery recharging over periods of non-use, like winter months or vacations.



PowerStar battery general features Sealed Construction
PowerStars's unique construction and sealing technique ensure that no electrolyte leakage can occur from the terminals or case of any PowerStar battery. This feature insures safe, efficient operation of PowerStar's batteries in any position. PowerStar batteries are classified as "Non-Spillable" and will meet all requirements of the International Air Transport Association.
Absorptive Glass Mat System (AGM System)
PowerStar batteries make use of fine mat separators (glass fiber) wherein suffient electrolyte is absorbed to provide the longest life and steady serive. This system prevents escape of electrolyte from the separator which causes leakage.
Gas Recombination
PowerStar batteries incorporated unique design that effectively controls generation of gas and allows recombination of over 90% of gas generated during the normal use.
Maintenance-Free Operation
During the expected floating service life of PowerStar batteries, there is no need to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte or add water, which means they require no maintenance service.
In fact, there is no provision for these maintenance functions.
Position-Free and Leakage-Free
The combination of the sealed construction and the use of absorptive mat separators permit operation off PowerStar batteries in any position without loss of capacity, electrolyte and service life. PowerStar batteries are made to operate in any position.
Stable Quality & High Reliability
The PowerStar SLA battery has stable and reliable performance. It can be easily maintained to permit proper operation of the equipment that it powers. The battery can withstand overcharge, over discharge, vibration, and shock, and is capable of extended storage.
Long Service Life, Float or Cyclic The PowerStar SLA battery has long life in float or cyclic service. The expected life of float service is shown on Figure10 and life of cyclic service figure 11.
Low Pressure Venting System
PowerStar batteries are equipped with a safe, low-pressure venting system which operates at 1psi to 6psi, designed to release excess gas and reseal automatically in the event that gas pressure rises to a level above the normal rate. Thus, there is no excessive build up of gas in the batteries. This low pressure venting system, coupled with the extraordinarily high recombination efficiency, make PowerStar batteries the safest sealed lead-acid batteries available.
Heavy-Duty Grids
The heavy-duty lead calcium-alloy grids in PowerStar batteries provide an extra margin of performance and service life in both float and cyclic applications, even in conditions of deep discharge.
Low Self Discharge
Because of the use of Lead Calcium grids alloy, PowerStar SLA battery can be stored long periods of time without recharge.
High Recovery Capability
PowerStar batteries have an excellent charge acceptance and recovery capability even after deep discharge.
U. L. Component Recognition
AII of our PowerStar SLA batteries have already passed UL
================================================== ====



WARRANTY POLICY INFORMATION FROM THE SELLER



I contacted seller about warranty and here's what they had to say.


Thank you for the email. The three year warranty will replace the battery if it becomes defective. We will not cover cosmetic damage or if you drop and damage the battery. If you need to get a replacement battery within the 3 year warranty period the warranty will not restart with the replacement battery . It begins on the day you receive the initial battery and ends 3 years later.
We would ask you to take the battery to a local auto parts store. They can perform a voltage test. We would need an image of that test being performed and showing the battery is bad. Once we review the image, we can ship a replacement battery. You would then need to properly dispose of the defective one.
We personally handle all returns and warrantied items.
I hope that answered all of your questions. If you have more, please let me know.
Thank you,
Amanda

I worked for a UPS manufacturer and Powerstar tried to sell us their batteries.

the part number for a 2016 roadking battery is 66010-97C. that means that same battery has been in use since 1997 (with 2 rev).

Your mistaken and so is the seller thats incorrectly stated that battery only covers up to 2009 HD Touring bikes.

Thats because HD iin fact uses the same ETX30L type pt# battery well past 2009 in their touring bikes.

I Just to check my memory went to HD's website and it shows that same battery 1997-2016 Touring bikes as being an ETX30L type pt# battery so this battery will fit all touring bikes thru 2016 and trikes from 09 & up too.

The Advanced Auto batteries (premium line, AGM) are DEKA batteries. With normal coupon codes they run all the time of 30% off, it's available for the same price in my area (KC).

DEKA batteries are top tier, why buy a Chinese battery--

INA ARE BAD.


==============

THIS IS A DIFF BATTERY THEN THAT ONE AND IN CASE YOUR NOT AWARE NOT ALL BATTERIES FROM CHINA ARE JUNK.


Once again you guys are totally missing the point here,i directed this at the guys that live in hot areas that often post short battery life issues of less then 3 yrs and thought what would they have to loose trying this battery with 3 yr warranty that the seller/battery vender told me 1st hand takes care of warranty issues ASAP.


So if someone was to try it out they would have nothing to loose to see if it lives up to its advertised better resistance to heat & vibration both of which are what kills batteries early in hot cond.

If the battery makes it past the 3 yr warranty in a hot area all is good and if it fails before 3 rys (like the other batteries they have tried that failed past their 1yr warranty eating the price for another new battery) with this battery they are still ahead of the game by a long shot because they will replace it no questions asked only requiring you email them the print out /results from a std load test done at local autoparts store as proof of the battery failure saving them money.

Thats it.

Scott
