Yamaha Battery (1990s)

4.5 2 customer reviews

Battery posts are a little disappointing. It would be preferred if they were made beefy enough to have them threaded. Very few are made this way in the motorcycle world. Some are though, I suppose price range is affected. That would eliminate the need to use nuts to fasten to bike. I used hot glue to hold the nuts in place while installing. It is very difficult to hold them in correct position otherwise, because of the limited length of hookup cables and tight area of battery compartment. As for the overall quality of the battery. It looks and weighs nice, (a bit hefty) like the quality is there. Time will tell, just installed it (May '20). I trickle charge during off season. Last battery (different brand) only lasted two seasons. Usually get 5 to 6.

Great battery, but the site shows the battery to be orange on instead of black. Pretty sure it's the same thing.
