Bit drunk, battery FAQ?

Post by mhardgrove »

On my umpteenth gin and tonic and can't seem to find things using the search function. Can someone link the battery FAQ, going to grab one from Walmart for my 125. I want the bigger one with the most power, already trimmed the plastic tabs on the battery topper. THANKS!!!

Here's the thread... viewtopic.php?t=14379

You won't be able to go tonight as I took your keys and hid them. You'll find them in the last place you look. :D Enjoy another drink for me though, getting ready to mix mine.

Battery Compartment trimming required: 8 Amp/Hr 135 CCA
http://www.batterystuff.com/powersports ... X9-BS.html

No Battery Compartment trimming required: 8.6 Amp/Hr 190 CCA
http://www.batterystuff.com/powersports ... TZ10S.html

So the one with the most power doesn't require any battery compartment trimming.

And remember that the first letter is the manufacturer so PTZ10S is the same as YTZ10S, for example.

What happens on Saturday night, stays on Saturday night (as long as it doesn't happen on a scooter :wink: ).

Umteenth = 7 :)

Didn't dare even get near the scooter!

So, found this on Amazon:

It's a 9-bs for $21.99 fully charged and maintance free. I cannot find power output.

The specs are here. Seems like a very good price.

Yeah, Amazon seems to always have insanely good deals and excelent customer service (even when I buy from one of their vendors). I will give it a try and if the battery is good I will let you all know. For 1/3 the cost of a stock I don't honestly expect it to be that good, but again it may be made by the same ppl that make the higher end ones.
