battery choices
Nurse Julie:
In the great scheme of things, batteries are so very cheap these days.
We always buy them from Tayna (I can't tell you which type without looking and I'm away at the moment). I think Graham buys new batteries for our bikes every 4 years at the latest, regardless of the health of the battery. We never use trickle chargers either.
Mikep328:
There's a Motobatt (yellow) in my 400, which was there when I bought the bike two years ago. It seems to be fine but when a new batt is needed I'd probably just buy one from DSS! ;)
FWIW, my wife's 2019 NC750x original battery just gave out. It was fine riding all day; She shut it off outside the garage and when she went to move it in a few minutes later, all she got was a chattering solenoid. SO... the idea of periodically replacing a batt regardless of its apparent condition is not a bad idea.
Jan B:
Motobatt here for 5 plus years without any issue. During winter on a ctek tricklecharger.
Johnny4428:
Yellow bricks for me too, trickle charges and optimisers in the winter lay up months. Last for years.
Bradders:
I also have a yellow brick battery on my 400/4. It was put on by the previous owner and I’ve had the bike over 6 years with no problem with the battery.
