Hi All
Needing a new battery for my 1980 g/s what’s the best one to get ?
Do I need an expensive one ?

Thanks

Andy
 
I've had a Motobatt in mine since 2013.

I charge it occasionally if I've not been out on the bike for a while. Has never let me down or slowed down whilst turning the engine.
 
Get yer old battery out and see if a smaller one with the same chanking amps is available. As I remember its a bugger to remove (standard original one)
yer may get a motobatt or I have an oddessey on my later GS. Some folk dont like the motbatts life but mune been ok on another bike for 3 year = wait for it go fail now.
Oddesssy has been on for 7 maybe more

Yuasa for me, mine has been on for 6 years now, all good.

Motobatt for me as it has two sets of terminals.
 
Motobatt for me, on nearly all of my bikes. Never had an issue - apart from the one on my F650 Funduro where I fitted a brand new battery, then accidentally left the parking lights on for over a week (it was under a cover). When I went to the bike the battery was obviously stone dead. Nevertheless it started with a jump and lasted another 18 months before it died*. My fault entirely, not the battery. I replaced it with another Motobatt.

* its still actually doing service in my garage powering a LED overhead light - only holds 9 volts but is enough for the variable voltage LED.
