WOW! Not what I wanted to hear. Are they going to ship you the correct battery after all this?

No, they say nobody makes "you fill it" liquid acid batteries any more.
This is not true
, Yuasa does, but they cost a mint to buy one.
Walmart sells them, for crying out loud.
Correction:
Walmart has nothing but sealed "maintenance free" batteries now.
Apex Battery gets rated at 2 out of 5 stars on their own net rating service that they use. Most of it is likely their careless advertising and the problems that result from that vague to just plain wrong ad-work.
My gut feel is they "fixed everything" within 5 hours, which isn't poor service -- but they required the jerk around from me
twice
to get that level of service.
========================================
They got their battery back and credited my charge card without issues.

I'd be interested to know too. Mine is beginning to show signs that it's not as good as it once was. But, it is 5 years old, too.
You have gotten about as much as you can from that one.....you are on borrowed time! This most likely will be the summer that it dies!
Really?
My '08 is using the stock battery and shows no signs of dying. I plug up my trickle charger about once a week and let it run until I get a solid green light (fully charged). It normally only takes 5 minutes or so. The bike is stored in the garage. 9 years and counting!!!
I'm used to car batteries lasting about that long too.

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

You got the goody out of it. If it just Dies a hundred miles from home, you'll wish you would have swapped it out.

Kris:
The original AGM Yausa battery in my ST1100 was the original 2000 battery that had the Honda logo embossed on it, and it lasted for 15 years before it needed replacement. It was working fine and never gave a hint of trouble - then one morning I fired up the bike and rode to the hardware store.....then down the street to get gas - and when I turned the key on after pumping gas - there was nothing....not even enough power to turn the neutral light on. I jumped the bike and got home - and tried charging the battery and there was no reviving it.
When I went to the dealer to get a replacement they said that the OEM batteries last far longer than any of the replacement batteries - maybe it is the same for Suzuki.
It does appear however that the AGM batteries can fail without giving you any advanced notice.
