| I bought one of these batteries in September and it has been starting my bike all winter long. It is an AGM for $25.00 shipped to my door.
If you care to read the reviews, a few are not so good, but some are reporting excellent service out of a cheap battery.

| I bought one of these for my KLR a couple of years ago. I wanted to replace the lead-acid for an AGM and this one was a good price. Worked fine for about three months; but then I traded the KLR for my SWing. Certainly be worth a try for the price! Even if it only last two years you are money ahead over a Yuasa... |

| I just ordered another one as the battery in my Drifter is old and is lead acid. It still holds a charge, but it at this price, might as well use a new one. |

| I installed the battery today and it fired right up. Two bikes, three batteries, so I will just rotate one into the house and trickle charge the one in storage.
I shouldn't of called it "cheap." I should of called it less expensive. $25 total cost is great. I will use it on my electric trolling motor for the kayak and see how long it powers that.
Good to go. If I don't get good results from this battery, I will post here again.

| Sometime soon I will check the standing voltage on the battery, but it seems to be starting the SW without any issue so far.
Costs at the Honda dealer here was way over $100 for a gas mat battery. |

I was typing so fast that my fingers got bound up into a not. I am not disappointed with the first one I bought in September and the new one is popping the scooter off without any hesitation. |

| 12.75 volts with the switch off. Prolly should of checked it with the switch on, but put the cover on before I thought of it.
I will post if anything changes on this battery. With my experience, I would recommend this at the substantial savings over major manufactures.
By the way, it does have "Made in China" on the box. |
