Unfortunately have to disagree about Yuasa, This 2018 battery is not the same as what you will get as a replacement from Yuasa today. I think they moved manufacturing from Taiwan and the quality has fell. My last two DRZ400 batteries were Yuasa and they didnt last 2 years. Even with tender on for the few months I didnt ride the bike.
Pros: tender on for months
Cons: quality has fell
Yuasa is the good stuff. It's all I'll use in my bikes.
Pros: good stuff
My battery was the [factory one from 2007], changed it in 2023. Couldn't find a replacement Varta back then and had to choose fast, so I picked Yuasa (Japanese brand) and it's working good till now.
Pros: working good
I bought a shorter mobility scooter battery with same chemistry as the original, YUASA REC36-12, however the polarity was reversed. I extended the negative pole and installed it without an issue and car came back to normal.
Pros: car came back to normal
Cons: polarity was reversed
Part number: REC36-12
Nice hack. I have a Yuasa that will be 13 years old this year and still going.
Pros: long lasting, reliable
I have a yuasa ybx 3000 recharging battery for Mazda 6 2011. I've had it three years with no problems since recently.
Pros: no problems for years
Cons: flat battery recently
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Part number: YBX 3000
I bought a Yuasa battery from AutoPro, and they told me it comes with a 2-year warranty. After about one and a half years, the battery almost completely died. I had it tested and was told it was dead and needed replacement.
Pros: 2-year warranty
Cons: battery almost completely died
Vehicle:
Lexus LS
For the last couple years my riding mower has been starting off of the Yuasa battery that I had taken out of my Valkyrie. I took it out because it was 10 years old and I thought I might be pushing my luck with it. I credit using a tender to give me 12+ years on my bike battery plus it\u2019s a quality battery.
Pros: quality battery, long life
Vehicle:
Honda
Had this issue with the R1250RT - apparently the hot engine means more compression, so need more power to start - after a while the OEM-battery just doesn’t have the punch.
I upgraded the battery to the Yuasa YTX20CH‑BS and it solved the problem.
Pros: solved the problem
Cons: OEM battery not punchy
Part number: YTX20CH‑BS
