The Yuasa gave up after 7 years. Half a year ago I unloaded the battery on an Irland trip by charging my smartphone for too long without a running motor. It recovered somehow for a while, but its life suddenly ended without a warning after a ride in my hometown.
I replaced the Yuasa with a fitting JMT for round about 70€ and the battery shows no sign of weakness after 3 years and works fine. Hopefully many more years to come. Since my expierence of unloading the battery I pay attention to not let it happen again. This will drastically shorten a battery's life as I more than one time found out. I do not charge batteries extern. While riding my bikes or car regulary, they will do the work in the year. In warmer periods more often than in colder ones, but they get a change to charge the battery every now and than on longer rides more than 30km.
As a start back up I bought a power booster/jump starter. Didn't have the chance to use it til now. But who knows, maybe someday its time will come.
