Here's what Yausa says about battery longevity...

I agree with everything they said except the AGMs giving notice when dying. THere have certainly been enough examples on this board of someone starting their bike fine, running someplace, then trying to start their bike and...nothing.
That is not much warning lol

Yes, that thought crossed my mind too when I read it. I guess that applies "generally." I had two battery failures in the past 25 years and both times the Yuasa battery warned me it was failing by barely starting the engine. Fortunately, both times I was only out for a day ride not far from home so once the engines were running I beat it for home

I had a 900 Vulcan and the battery on it went dead after the bike was conveniently out of warranty (one year). I had it on a Battery Tender, it started fine, and after getting gas a couple of miles from my house it barely turned over. The battery on my CB lasted 4 years, which is pretty normal.

My wife's Vulcan's motor quit as she crossed over some rough pavement. The Yuasa battery had a shorted cell.

$99 for a bikemaster battery at cyclegear. I am going to charge this one once a month.

I've been riding for 52 years. I always thought battery dependability was a crap shoot.
