Battery work, battery no work, battery fubar

[snapdragon]

OK so maybe not fubar - it lights the lights.
Took it off and up bupped it with the charger due to no-starty this morning. Opti thing says it's good, but not enough to start the Rappy
so am guessing it's passed it's best, fubar, knackered, or at the very least due to be replaced.

nice weekend and no riding. The local-ish shop tells me they're £66.99 blardy EEK!!! Does anyone have a fave battery supplier that does quick deliveries of genuine Yuasa batteries?

Or has anyone found a better, or just as good battery ?

I had the same issues with My Navigator. Being a tight Yorkshireman I googled the part number on the battery and higher amp battery same dimensions and connections was listed as a lawn mower battery. Sealed battery ( fits on it's side on the Navigator )£35.00 ish delivered.

Ooh -- my googling skills are obviously not as good as yours , I shall have another search

sigh - comes in threes, brother phoned yesterday asking for ideas why his Kwak wasn't starting - new battery solved it

I blame the long cold spell

I have had the same with the Xtra last weekend, although my old battery was only a bit sluggish, but did not have time to charge the battery so I bought a battery locally for £28, the old battery shows as being good on the Optimate4.

Do you have a multimeter?

If you do, check the voltage of your battery as soon as you take it off charge, then test every few hours to see if the voltage is dropping, if it keeps dropping it is a dead-un.

Ahh no multimeter (not sure I'm allowed technical wizardry like that)

I've just started her on jump leads from t'dragon's car and ran her round the block that includes dual carriageway - with fingers crossed that there was sufficient fuel - and she did re-start when I got home, but I'm not hugely confident it'll stay charged.

I got mine from wemoto, delivery is really quick and not badly priced
