New battery
My battery seems to have died. Been on an optimate for a few days but no joy.
Any recommendations for places to get one from (or not if you've had a bad experience)? thanks |

Re: New battery
I tend to go for Motobatt. Some don't like the terminals they come with, but 30% more cranking amps tends to help a lot. Using them on all my bikes, and they seem to last pretty well. Might be worth a look.
Bit more expensive, but in my opinion worth the money. |

Re: New battery
Hmm, interestingly enough, going through the series of dropdowns (650s, 2005), I can't find my bike!

Re: New battery
I can second MDS think it was 10% off if you mention the forum. Order during the week and it comes the next day, amazing service.
