Starting a new other bikes thread ....
Bought a new battery for Angry Bird (my NC 750X DCT). Almost 4 years since I bought it (June 2021) and 57,206 miles, and since this bike can't be bump started like my CB 1100 (which I had to bump start and replace the battery last October), figured better safe than sorry. Also, I'm told the DCT system needs a strong battery to operate properly so a new battery seemed like a prudent purchase at this time.
Went with another Japanese made Yuasa YTZ-12S AGM

No Cormanus. Same battery as the CB, but batteriers are stupid high priced nowadays.

Figure $180-$220 for a good battery down here these days. You can always Batteries Plus or get a cheapo internet battery for around a$100 that will last a year or so.

Fitting batteries for the CB in Germany are not very expensive:

I installed this battery bought in the internet a few years ago after the original Yuasa gave in being 7 years old. The new one works fine since then starting the CB. Even after parking the Honda for a while and never been charged extern.
