How often do you have to replace your battery

[dig dug mx6]

I seem to get aobut 3 to 4 years and then they are done will not charge anymore via the bike or a charger.

I've been getting about 5 years with Yuasa batteries on my 83GS750ES.

I've got 2 on their 3rd yr. now, maybe get a few more months on them, like you, I find 3-4 yrs. max, if you take care of them

I usually have to buy one every spring, from the lack of getting around to putting it on charge routinely :roll: :roll:

Bought a Battery Tender this year so hopefully I will get off my lazy A## and hook it up, :roll:

Every 2 to 3 years. My bikes live outside (no garage) and I ride year round so they would get what I would probably call extreme service. They are exposed to temperatures from -10F to 105F on an average year. For short periods of bad snow during the winter I will cover the bikes and charge the batteries but that is usually for three weeks maximum in the winter.

I'm on my 3rd in 21 years... knock on wood!

I swear, if mine dies tomorrow by saying this, I'll kill.
Mine's been going strong for a little over two years. Haven't even had to add water.

2 years has been the norm. Bought a battery maintainer after the first season with my newest battery, and I'm on my 3rd year now. It's still going strong so far. <knocking on wood> [-o<

Thanks for all the responses

Well I have about 3 years in mine now. and it doesn't have enought to crank it over. We are having a last blast of warm weather and I am stuck looking at my bike. I put a charger on it last night and it won't charge.

I was hoping it would charge but it doesn't make sence to buy a new one and then store it for the winter.
