Hello Everyone
I would like to buy a new battery as I think my old one is nackered
I m inclined to go for a Motobatt as they seem less maintenance and good value ..£45
Any recommendations please ? and what is the advantage of the other type of batteries ..there must be some..if they require more maintenance ...
Thanks for reading ____________________ Honda CBR1100 |

I also use Motobatt, cheap and reliable. I even got a tiny one for a MZ150, it's a half the size of a regular MZ150 spec battery + it can't spill.
The only other brand of motorcycle battery, that I've use before, was Yuasa which worked as well, why wouldn't it, but costs a fair bit more.
By the way, there is no such thing as a maintenance-free battery, regardless of what the package and retailer claim. Maintenance-free means the cap/s are glued to the battery and you may not refill it / refresh it.
Maintainable batteries make more sense, as you may get a bit more life out of them.
TL; DR: Get the Motobatt. I tend to aim at the highest capacity (Ah) possible, because I don't ride that often and it's not convenient for me to have it on a charger when not in use. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Never bought a bike battery from Tayna but have bought several for cars and vans and their service is excellent. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
