Motobatt

[srsupertrap]

Care to suggest any good deals on the MotoBatt Battery or other AGM's, I need a MB12U for a Kawi GPz550. Found this @ Amazon for $82 F/S

Edit: I have been checking around they seem to be back ordered & available March 3, 2014

TIA

I recommend going to Impact Battery and buying it from them for the same price. I had some issues with a battery lately and their customer service was second to none especially knowing the MotoBatt I thought I bought from them was actually bought from someone else. They still issued me the warranty RMA and I'm more than happy with them.

EDITED: After I go back to read better, I see they are out of stock. I know they told me Motobatt recently had a factory fire (reason for my first call to them three weeks ago) and is still trying to rebuild the place so I'm sure they are still behind on orders. I still would recommend them though

Sounds like Impact Battery treated you right

I found a Scorpion battery which makes a YT12C which has 180cca vs Motobatt 160cca. I have seen the name around but no experience with them either. Here is a link (They are rated 4.79/5). . . seems good

I've been using Scorpion batteries for a few years. No problems so far.

Wow, you're up to the point of needing a battery already?

Need a battery to get the GPz running in the garage just to perform a compression check. That will tell me if the motor is sound or needs to be rebuilt . . . The GPz is far from bring street ready

jumper cables and your car battery, leave the car off, should be able to start your bike and or crank it over to perform your compression test...

I recycled the dried out battery . . . so that is gone. Can you run a bike safely using jumper cables as described for five or ten minutes with no battery?

I have already down the "thumb test" but I need to do the compression check when its Hot so I can compare those numbers to the cold value.

[GateKeeper]

use the car battery as your battery, it's all 12 volts, the only down side is you might run down your car battery, so after a bit disconnect and run the car and charge it up...

You could run a bike ignition off a car battery for days even with no charging at all.
