Battery wont keep a charge!
04/12/10 at 12:16:27
 
Looks like a good riding season ahead and the wifeys on board lol but now my battery wont keep a charge. I'm hoping it's just the battery due to age and not something else. I'm looking to replace it and I'm requesting advice from everyone on my best options for the savage.

My K&N cone filter also needs replaced so I was hoping someone could give me the part # for the one I need for the Mikuni. I understand they normally only need cleaned but I cracked the rubber during the original install. Lancer sent me the last one and there is no part# to reference.

Thx in advance everyone.

Here's another good battery for our bikes:

Interstate Battery

Last summer, the one I'd had in my Savage (see signature) for 5 1/2 years handily passed a load test(!)

I'd bet thats the same battery,.....different price. Interstate is just a distributor of batteries.

Disconnect a batt cable to be sure which it is.

Yep, charge it, make sure its all full O water & such, then Isolate it by pulling the ground off. Why the ground? Because thats ALWays the first one to pull & the last one to hook up.

I'm pretty sure it is a Yuasa in a different wrapper.
