Title: So I bought a new battery...
Post by Greg on 11/11/12 at 09:24:27

When I went to the store I was informed that I had the wrong one to begin with. It only had 65cca. I bought a battery from Batteries Plus that is 220cca for $100. What a difference! I didn't have to plug it in over night and it spun super fast!

Same here. I was having so many starting issues. I had everything torn apart to do some jet work and they were the only place local that had one. 2 year non-prorated exchange warranty is awesome as well!

My next battery will be a lithium-ion battery. My buddy Jud, the fellow with the other RYCA in the Double RYCA Build, needed a battery because his walmart battery expired while we were building the things. He bought a Ballistic brand LI battery. I am impressed. It is tiny, lightweight, and has huge cranking power.

I also like the idea of the way they can hold a charge for months and not deteriorate.
