Battery fecked

[Bikerjim]

Think the battery may have gone (will be decided tomorow if it starts) i had to call recovery for a jump but thankfully didnt need to get recoverd home it did need alot of juice to get the gs going so probably fecked.

Where is the best place and which one and price ?

I ride all year round so needs to be reliable

thanks for the advice.

When you say it needed a lot of juice? I would've thought once you connect a good battery to jump it should fire up normally.

Been researching batteries recently for another bike. Yuasa offered the best cold cranking although others claimed more capacity. I went for Yuasa as I think CCA is more important in the cold weather. At least that's what I think.

I always use VARTA or BOSCH, as these are what my brother gets. He owns a car repair garage, so can order ANY battery, with same day delivery. Obviously this works out cheaper for me, as he doesn't load his profit margin on them.

Try asking a small independent car garage if they can price a battery up for you. You will need the code number off the side of the battery. It may be cheaper than a bike shop.

Also, try asking your local SMALL independent bike shop. They will be glad of the trade, and most likely will be struggling this time of year.
