What is the best battery for our bikes? Have an 01' F4i. Battery died after being impounded Anyway, got the bike started with my jump pack, but now won't keep a charge for long (cuts off FI system when over 2k rpm, then won't start without a jump again)... So what is the best battery to buy, and where is the best price?

Thanks.

...everything was great before the police got involved...
So anyway

 

Yuasa.

I bought a $45 cheapo 2 years ago and it has given me zero problems.....

 

+ 1 Yuasa.

 

If the bike won't stay running then your charging system is no good. I ran a dead battery every day to and from work for a couple weeks when I was broke once.

 

I get what your saying... (for the record, i dont' know **** about bikes)... i am a honda tech (cars) and sometimes, if you put a vehicle under hard load (espcially w/ aftermarket parts (hids on bike)) it draws from the battery a bit... I can keep the bike running under 2k rpms, but seems like there is soo little juice ( lights won't even come on) that the bike dies under any type of load...

does that make sense or am i just retarded...??

sorry... thank you for your help...

 

good call on that!

 

+1 yuasa as well, but i'm trying the lithium ballistic evo2 battery which is good so far.

 

Is there much of a size difference between the Yuasa and the Ballistic? Mines not going to last much longer.. I want a Lith Ion to free up a little space too..

 

Everyone is saying Yuasa but I'm going to say Interstate. They are expensive, but I think the FA-YTZ10S for our bike has a lifetime warranty

 

It makes sense. Im guessing your charging system is just barely working, only enough for hardly running. Like I said I ran mine dead for weeks, and that included 14,000rpm spurts now and then.

And just so everyone knows, interstate motorcycle batterys ARE yuasa batterys with a different sticker.
