My bike normally fires up just fine until last week, thumbed the starter & it growled at me Grrrrrrrrowl before starting up. No bother while I was out so charging system ok. Put it on charge when I got home got it up to 13.37v but two days later it was down to 12.4v & seemed to hold that 75% power two days after that.

Never heard of the battery that was in - Diablo? put it up on t'internet to see how to check how old it was 'cos couldn't find any marks & nowt come up. I've had the bike since Oct 2013, anybody's guess how old the battery is.

Anyway obviously time for a new one, & this is the point I'm getting to, what a bargain find & the seller assures me it's new stock & will be with me by Friday. Dip thee butty while they're available at this price. £30.59 for a Yuasa.

The Yuasa battery turned up on Friday as promised, together with the acid pack, all done & left on charge overnight on my Accumate.

Still amazed at the price, others are asking as much as £50, most are £40.
If he can make a profit at £30.59, they all can. Good to get a bargain eh.
