Difficulty starting 2019 S40
04/25/24 at 15:16:36
 
Hi all:

I ride daily, but mainly it's for my commute to work, which is about a 15-minute commute. I had a hard time starting this morning and am wondering if it's because I don't ride enough for a single ride but also suspect the battery is 5 years old (I have a 2019). Any battery recommendations?

I read one recommendation was Big Crank. I also read to avoid MotoBatt.

I have no complaints about these Pirate/Chrome batteries.  Only $47.  I’ve used them on 3 different LS650s and I have a different sized one on my Honda Shadow Spirit.  They have a 45-day refund period and 12 month warranty.  At least they offer some kind of warranty for a cheap battery.  Pirate is a brand of Chrome.  You’ll see the same batteries under both names with different labels on them.

Then I take my old battery to Autozone and they give me $10-$20 for a core charge return.  It’s like getting a new battery for $27 or $37 (I can’t remember if they gave me $10 or $20 for the core charge return.). I’m frugal.  My wife says I’m cheap.  Shocked

I think you’re right, Zip!  Unless you own a Tesla or EV!  That must be where the battery-makers are sticking it to the consumers!   Shocked

A good lithium battery will give you years of use without any maintenance.  

I've had a couple of Antigravity batteries and they have been great.  The only drawback is they are Li-ion so you can ruin them if you run them dead a few times.  A good LifePo4 should be even more durable.
