Replacement Battery

The only 2 hassles I had were:
* CT sold me a defective one (first) that failed 3x AVR tests in a row (print out: replace)...saying "needs recharging"...and they booster charged it with a 20 A rate (IDIOTS!!!), so I stepped several feet back in case of an unexpected AGM explosion...and then, they tried to sell me a second one with a "bad cell" (I took my portable AVR tester to CT store and got my money back right away)
* I needed right away, cos had a scheduled ride that afternoon.
Finally, I went to a different CT store and bought a C$160 Motomaster Eliminator AGM/filled, rated 220 CCA for my white standard. The previous battery, also AGM, lasted about 4 years and passed an AVR test but failed 3x in a row cranking tests.... did not want to take a chance.

For my DLX, I also bought an AGM with a separate acid container . This set was priced C$95 and came from FortNine.
.....and my next one will be similar to the one I bought from FortNine, not CT.

No regrets at all for any battery I ever bought, either for my motorcycles or cars within last 40 years...checked specs + price = made decision.

"While motorcycle batteries are not universal, they do share a lot of similar characteristics that can be compared when deciding which is right for your motorcycle.
There are different types with their own pro’s and con’s. Refer to manufacturer recommendations for specifications. Pay attention to CCA’s and Ah’s and purchase a trusted brand. Following these principles will direct you to getting the best fit for your bike."...and pocket!

Ride more and worry less , life is already too complicated to create more obstacles >>

Oh, almost forgot... and my old, good two batteries, I instantly sold on kijiji for C$25
