Yet still you haven't edited your posts where you're spouting how bad the motobatts are according to yourself.

whats the point in editing the old posts if this comes up in a google search and someone reads the whole thread then they will see that i was wrong and admitted it whereas if i edit the old threads the whole thread will not make any sense due to the editing

my Motobatt has been on my CBR for a few months now, I put it onto my oximiser every night when I put it in the garage. When we had to drop the engine out the battery was left for a week completely disconnected, on a counter in the garage. When we went to crank the bike over the next week it was flat, the starter just turned, had to jump it.

It was a genuine motobatt from Buster's, next time I'll get a Yuasa or a Bosch AGM, they work and cost less money

My Motobatt on the zx7 has never seen a charger and it had been sitting for a month.

Started it the other day to move it. Fired up with no issues. Battery sounded as strong as the day i put it on.

Never had to charge mine either and, over the last 6 months or so, the bikes been left one week out of two....outside. When I come to start the bike, it turns the engine over like a freshly charged battery would.

i also have a motobatt on my cbf 125, was only 35 pounds straight in the bike without charging, never seen a charger at all, even survived a couple of low slides and a crash, still strong!

bought another motobatt in 2013 now its failed again.

wasn't happy with the lifetime of the previous one which was under 3 years....closer to two.

I don't think that these batteries match the hype in the marketing material.

I have a smartphone application that monitors the voltage only and its sitting at around 13.8 volts while riding but without load on it like grips etc. charging fluctuates from around 13.6 to 14.2 as you'd expect because of the on off of the mosfet regulator.

Still ... this motobatt doesn't seem to hold a charge at the moment...strangely 2 years of service again.

just sayin'

I sell them, 2 years is a reasonable life. Is it sized correctly? Ie, correct cca rating?

Also, how has the battery been used? Reasonable run daily rider, couple of miles a day not really recharging fully or put away at the start of October, no maintenance charge, and now it's dead?

Hi

I too have had a similar lifespan on a motobatt batteries, which was a little frustrating, gone back to cheap acid batteries now, as they last longer, but I do miss not worrying about the battery potentially leaking !

I would expect more from one in use on a machine with a working charging system.

The problem isn't so much what a battery costs, as the PITA factor when it fails.

Motobatt lifespan is supposed to be "beyond 4 years", the warranty is for 2 years IIRC but is a "factory direct" warranty.
There are other AGM batteries....Odyssey are supposed to be very good - but about twice the price of Motobatt.

It seems the quality of Motobatt is inconsistent as some people get on fine with them, others complain they don't last. That could be down to poor maintainence but I suspect build quality and quality of the materials used which could make buying Motobatt a bit of a gamble.
