Battery YUASA or AC DELCO

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.

I’ve had an AC Delco marine battery in my 67 Jeep that soldiered on for 12 years, and an “Autocraft” battery in my parent’s car that has finally given up after seven.

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.

I bought my last battery from Menards. They sell AC Delco batteries. They come with a full non prorated 3 year warranty at least they did last year

AC Delco was good.. lasted 2 years in my old car

I started buying AC Delco, probably now made in Korea. Anyway, 9 years in my Kia Spectra, 7 years in our rarely driven ‘02 Accord, has another in there from a year or two ago. One that was in my wrecked Cobalt, still works but is sitting. Now one for the Cavalier that had a two year old premium Everstart. The place I get the AC Delco batteries from sells a lot of them so they refresh their inventory. And they are also cheap with my business account. Was $120 for the last one, got the better option they offer. But most have been under $90. Although prices have gone up everywhere throughout various product. Just saying, for whatever reason they have been the only ones I didn’t have to warranty out every 2-3 years. Maybe I’m just getting lucky with them for the last 12-13 years. But I got tired of SuperStart and Everstart batteries that I used to go for. Duracell had been good in customer vehicles.

I prefer Yuasa.

Put a Yuasa in the Fiesta when I had it. It worked... I can't say much beyond that.

I bought a 6v Yuasa battery for my old Harley and it lasted about six months. Would drop from fully charged to 2.5 volts in a week of sitting.

Yuasa used to make great batteries, would get ten years out of a battery ('91 R100GS) outside w/o a battery tender. Not any more, the last two were good for six or seven months
