Batteries

[Deano64]

Hello. Cold weather is here again. Think battery's almost done . One delayed click of starter motor and starts but only just. Dials on clock all go round to maximum (reset) I guess. Time for new battery I think. Similar events to winter last year but never go round to battery replacement that time

Same here. Looking at Yuasa, Motobatt & Deka. It really comes down to how much I want to spend. You?

 

[Deano64]

Dunno. I do everything with this bike through Alan Jefferies who have been excellent with everything so far ! Dunno what BMW std batt is

I ordered the Yellow MBTX12U Motobatt today off the same ebay dealer. Was going to go with the Deka after some good reccomendations but its at least £20 more expensive and seems to have the same specs as the motobatt. The motobatt kicked some serious butt in these tests. I like the 4 terminals too, will be great for the accessories... and its ready to go: no DIY mixing & charging (I don't have or use an optimate).

Don't understand canbus can I just clip my optimate croc clips to battery still connected on the bike? It's been ok with all previous bikes to do this

 

[ghiribizzo]

Yes...

Just wire you outlet socket directly to the battery via an inline fuse like all the older bmws and bobs you uncle
