I buy batteries at an average price of C$130 from a reputable motorcycle seller, however any battery can fail at any time and prematurely, i.e. dead cell can occur even with a new battery soon after installation, but this is very rare.
A rider who rides frequently, like Ferret, does not need to recharge the battery if his CB charging system is working properly.
My standard CB averages 15,000 miles a year, unlike my DLX only 1500, and there is no problem with either battery. The Dlx battery is charged a maximum of 2-3 times a year.
I can't remember the last time I charged the battery of my standard CB in the last few years.
The batteries in both bikes are 3-4 years old.
One is AGM, the other came dry with a container of acid to fill the battery.
The batteries in my cars last about 10 years and have never been charged after installation.
If my car battery becomes suspicious, I do the AVR test and make a decision.
In bikes, if the battery does not have a healthy third crank in the row = replacement.
This is how I deal with my batteries.
