I don't but I'd also be interested if anyone does because I've been looking for a new battery for my warrior.

 

[YAMAHAULER]

Well Im gonna be getting 1 for the bear tracker so we shall see

 

[Warrior1996]

Awesome, I don't think they make an exact size one for the warrior so I have to measure it up and get close.

Gel batteries aren't so good in cold weather.

 

[Warrior1996]

What's a good cheap battery alternative?

 

[duneracerweston]

Sealed glass mat lead acid battery. That's the best thing for cold weather.

 

[Warrior1996]

Thanks, Ill look into it more I guess.

 

[duneracerweston]

Agm is a acid glass Matt. That means it won't slosh and if it gets flipped over it won't hurt it. The sealed part is so it won't leak and burn itself up.

 

[Warrior1996]

Sounds expensive lol

 

[duneracerweston]

It's not.

 

[Warrior1996]

Haha alright, thanks for the info.

 

[YAMAHAULER]

about $60-$90 depending on brand

Have you guys seen these? My buddy bought one for his kz1000 drag bike that sits most of the time and it never goes dead five years strong. There tiny for what they put out and there lite.

Yep Ballistic EVO is the next battery I will buy, Weston runs them too so he knows more than me about them. I haven't owned one but got a lot of buddies that use them.

Now as for the Gel battery Ive heard a lot of hit and misses with them, Ive heard they last a good 7 months solid to a year but for the price its hard to beat.

 

[duneracerweston]

Ballistics are amazing. I suggest buying their charger for their batteries

i thought agm stood for absorbed glass mat. the store manager at batteries plus told me that gel batteries are just an AGM. i fought him for a while about it but is there any truth to that?

i was going to get an EVO when mine went out but when it did i needed it for the next day. i ended up with his X2 agm. i dunno if i would recommend it based off of price but its got some nice solid terminals, a 2 year warranty, and the dealership is two blocks from my house when it goes out. my only problem with the evo was nobody around town sells these things. if anything went wrong with it id be push starting until i got a resolution. that being said ive read a lot of reviews about great customer support.
