LM2 replacement battery
« on: April 27, 2018, 05:47:57 AM »
Current battery is on its last legs and I'm looking to replace.
I've found a few ranging from £40 to £100 ($55 - $140).
Wondering if anyone has experience of Yuasa 53030, specifically whether it's rating of 28Ah and CCA of 180A is sufficient.
The bike is only run in moderate climate temps of 10°C-20°C, so no particularly cold starting required.

If you were going to go with a Yuasa 53030 I would up grade that to the Harley touring AGM battery. I did that on my 98 V11EV. Here is one that is made by Deka in the USA with 400 cranking amps for $109.

I just bought a Duracell battery that looks a lot like the Big Crank battery....perhaps, identical I bet. Oh well, I think I just blew some extra cash on it, at least it was on sale.

Anyway, the Duracell 400cca battery is very nice. Bike starts much better than the previous battery I had, which was 385 cca.

I use a 30Ah Banner car battery. Costs from 50-60eur, and is quite reliable. Motorcycle-specific batteries are expensive for no other reason than they are motorcycle specific.

The Big Crank isn't available in the UK, although it's advertised on ebay from the US; shipping costs are obviously ridiculous.
Banner is available and looks a decent buy, thanks.
N27 I have Googled but nothing comes up battery wise.
