What battery (again)?

[Ex-Call Centre Chimp]

I bought a Motobatt battery for my 1200 GSA about 18 months ago but never fitted it. Finally got round to changing it and it appears to be knackered, no charge in it and it won't charge on the bike - well done me.

I'm going to buy another and get it fitted straight away.
Having read poor reviews of Motobatt since I bought the last one I thought I'd go for whatever BMW stock as my original lasted 6 years but I've just been quoted £137 which seems a little steep.

So what should I buy this time?

Exide from Motorworks for £54
A mate just fitted one this week
Same as the £137 one from BMW dealers

If its a AGM battery try it on a conditioner like a C-TEK or similar and see if that works.

I have a C-Tek charger Bill. Bring it over and we'll see if it won't charge.

Next time your cycling over this way, drop it off. Your trip home will be a lot easier.
