Mine's still original too, but to be honest it's not too happy... It only seems to take about a half charge from the bike now. The spare battery's fine so I'm assuming it's just an unhappy battery. Got a spare reg/rev anyway just in case

My Battery is 18 months old, bike has done 24k and for the last 4 months it has been a little down on starting power. Luckily coz it does 60 miles a day usually it keeps it charged enough but the time is coming soon to replace it...Are there any better options battery wise or should i do a like for like swap?

Somewhere on this forum is a link to a website that will take you through how to THOROUGHLY test your charging circuit.
Mine was fine, but if yoiu let the battery get too dead you will not be able to recover it. A week of cold weather and an alarm will flatten te standard battery really quickly if you are not riding it enough. |
