Mine gave me some warning, enough so that I switched to the Griso as I could not quite trust it to get me home. I was going to hold off and get a new battery next month and I had pretty much decided on an AMG. For $99 + tax it would have been a very good battery.
But.
A buddy posted on Facebook that Shorai was having a 15% off sale, free shipping which worked out to just under $170.00 so I pulled the trigger. Ordered on Wednesday, arrived on Friday (just a bit ago). I had just finished putting a woodworking project in clamps when FedEX showed up. I quickly charged the battery, dotted the eyes on the woodworking by which time the battery was all charged up (used a standard battery charger - don't have the dedicated one yet) and I tossed it in the bike.
285CCA! Stock is only 230CCA.
She turns over with vigor! Now the long haul starts, we'll see how long this one lasts in Phoenix. I got three good years out of the stock AGM battery so I expect 5 to break even. I don't need the weigh savings, just the heat resistance they are supposed to offer.
