Best Deal on AGM Battery?
« on: May 29, 2010, 04:04:15 PM »
Im looking around for an AGM Battery for my 74 CB750. Ive noticed that price seems to vary quite a bit from place to place and figured I would ask here and see if anybody has run accross a good deal for an AGM. I'll also be looking around for one for my CB500, but that will be some time in the future. The CB750 takes more importance. Thanks. :)

www.cb750supply.com has xspower branded AGM's listed for 59.00 with free shipping over 35.00.  or www.partsnmore.com has the same battery listed for 56.95 w/the free ship, but you gotta cross reference the battery part number (61-2020 on the 750 sight).  I've been pretty happy in the last couple of months with the one I bought for my 650 through P&M.

I bought an AGM battery for my bike last year and at the end of season brought it in the house where it stayed at room temp. Took it out to the bike this spring, cranked it over, started right up. No charge needed and no fusses with spilt acid or vent tube hassles. Best maintenance free device you can buy for your bike.  ;)

Is this battery what we're talking about also?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110402224775&crlp=1_263602_263622&ff4=263602_263622&viewitem=&guid=e0f9836a1280a0aad4a18021ff62f657&rvr_id=&ua=L*F%3F&itemid=110402224775

Says lead-acid, but doesn't mention AGM, but has same product designation (UTX14AHL YTX14AHL-BS)

Nice Price ($39.95 plus $15 shipping = $54.95)

Our local Batteries Plus has had them for a decent price.  Convenient to just pick it up and drop it in.  I've got them in all our bikes, now.

My Honda has been sitting a few months while I'm recovering from an injury.  During that time I have had to charge it twice to keep it up.  No problems, though.

I plan on the same thing.  ;) Do you think that leaving a float charger on an agm battery all winter would drain it at all?

you think it drained from the charger? both my batteries will be in a similar environment (garage) during the winter.

The modern chargers should not be a problem.  Nonetheless, I alternate them and put them on the charger for a day about once a month or so.  I think we've had threads on this, if you do a search on the forums.

Just to clarify, I put the battery on the tender during the winter in the basement. I would give them all a charge at least every month. I did not leave the unit on the battery all winter.

I got two sealed AGM YB12A-A (fits my 400f and 350f) for $60 (yes -- two for $60) with free shipping from www.bikebatts.com. Great deal and they've been working great for about six months now. He also has good deals on batery tenders.

Bringing back up a zombie thread!   

Johnie - you still run the Battery Plus batteries? 
I find that store over priced and they gave me a hard time with my Corvette battery that went dead - blamed it on the car because I dont drive it everyday!  WTF?!  Got a free replacement finally after it tested bad [my tester read bad battery too but he didnt believe me]

Anyway, need a new battery for my K5 project...the Yuasa is cheap but needs acid, anyone try the Weize?  Gonna give it a shot...

I used this brand for my other bikes, no problems so far. AGM  and it is $45.99 shipped. There is a 14AH unit available but I haven't check fitment.

 I just go to Advance auto and get their agm battery, I have one going on 5 years old, I put a good maintainer on them once or twice during winter for about a week or so.
 My brothers 76 wing is a battery killer so I have to disconnect it. It has a constant drain going on.

What I do is look up the Yuasa model number for the bike needing a battery. Then I put that number into google and find the best deal. Don't forget to consider freight cost.

Considered that but doesnt offer Prime shipping, it would have arrived next week while I'm on vacation and I didnt want it sitting there while I'm away. Thx
