Title: Replacement Battery
Post by geo on 07/07/08 at 11:58:39

Does the Big Crank ETX15L battery interchange into my 2002 LS650 without mods? What is your experience with replacement batterys?
I priced the YUASA YB14L-B2 at $100 which is a bit excessive. The Big Crank is a lot less expensive. Excide makes a battery (14L-B2) but I can't find it anywhere.
What is your experience with mail-order batterys? Do I have to add fluid after I receive it? :-/

Big crank comes charged and ready to go. The terminals are quite abit bigger than stock and one tab on each cable will either have to be removed or bent up. I chose bent up. Also the positive terminal rubber doesn't sit flush like it used to. I modified the terminal protector to fit over the cable for added protection against shorting. ;D

After I pressure tested the stock battery & it failed( Sparks by the vent tube flashed the hydrogen, Bang,, Ooops) I got a Big Crank. I like the "No Water" battery a lot.

OK guys, I ordered the BigCrank.
My original battery lasted 6 years and is still working, but not as strong as it used to be. I have 7563 miles on this bike and it runs very well. 8-)
