Recommend me a battery for the ten
 
As it says on the tin, I'm after a new battery for the ten in the UK, what's hot and nevermind what's not.

I've always found Yuasa (as used OEM) to be very reliable & long lasting.

What about lithium batteries?

SimonRoma 23-02-16 14:42
I have always used Yuasa and they really are the best of the "normal" batteries, I know nothing about the lithium ones. And I use a CTEK battery trickle charger when I am not using the bike, so my battery lasts several years.

From memory I think the lithium battery's don't give any warning when they're getting run down or tired. They just die suddenly.

I have very good experience with motobatt. It's cheap, reliable powerful and sometimes lighter then the OEM/yuasa versions

I can second Motobatt batteries, had them on several bikes will crank for ages on a 25 year old twin on a cold frosty morning.

Never had a failure and some models come with 2 sets of terminals to fit mutiple bikes. Perfect if you have accessories wired too battery.

Also theyre yellow....... I like yellow

Do the Lithium batteries need a special charger? :read2:

Yes, you need special charger. Using ordinary charger poses a risk to damage the battery and eventually cause fire. Charger can be sourced through e-bay circa 55-60 GBP

Hope this helps.
