    how long does a battery last?

    Hello all!

    I found a battery for my bike being sold on craigslist.

    The seller tells me the battery is new, in an unopened box. BUT He says he bought it about 2 years ago.

    He's asking $20.

    Think it's worth it?

    Thanks!

    Depends what battery it is & whether it has been filled with Acid or not. If it's wet cell & never been filled it should be ok. If it's been filled I would walk away. If it is AGM type then I would think carefully at 2 years. Having said that $20 is not a big risk....

      I dont think you can ship them filled anyway. Its about half price and you will have to pay shipping of roughly $10 plus pay someone to fill it with acid so there wont be a lot of savings there. Id spend the extra $10 and have a warranty myself. Offer $10 and it might be worth it.

        Good question. I wouldn't know about yours, but mine lasted plum up to the time it quit holding a charge. I agree with the others
