electrical problems.

[Jeff Khoury]

My friend has had horrible luck with Batteries Plus. I get mine from Advanced Battery Systems here in Culver City. They always have what I need, they last a long time and they give me a discount because I work at UCLA. I highly recommend them.

I had an AGM battery (Batteries Plus) go bad in the Super Sherpa after only 8 months. Of course the warranty was only 6 months..... I had a slosh battery last only a year and a half in the KLR. My remaining batteries in miscellaneous bikes are now all AGM and all are over a year old. My most reliable battery is one I got at Wal Mart. That bike sits for 12 months then starts right up. All the rest are either Die Hard or Yuasa batteries. The ZRX's battery has been in the bike for about 5 years. All batteries have given me fair warning before expiring - slow cranking, won't hold a charge for long, etc. None ever died suddenly.
