Bosch Powersports Battery?

MarkWalker · Nov 22, 2018

Anybody try one of these yet? 18 month free replacement. Waterproof. For $75 on sale at Pep Boys it might be worth a shot? https://www.boschautoparts.com/documents/101512/0/0/0a256509-f76d-6ed6-c5ec-3ea3fcc83d6c

looks like a merge of the earth x with western power sports .....knowing the location of the batteries within the hull and fact that there is no actual thread within battery , only the little thread cube that can be dropped or lost in the bottom of the hull I would not want that, also exposed raised surfaces ....

just my 02

doesn't look bad at all.definitely worth a try.
the threaded cube also applies to yuasa oem batteries so i fail to see an issue with that.

If thats the case and you're getting one can I PP you some funds and I'll snag it next time I see you? Seems worth the risk

Hey Mike, If it was the YTX12BS for 73.99? The link won't work. I'm going to take a ride over tomorrow and check them out. I'm headed to the Toronto Boat Show in January I can meet up with u then or the Dirty River Ride!

I picked up a WPS the beginning of this summer. Not overly impressed with it. This battery looks very similar to it. The WPS started losing a charge during the end of the season requiring it to be charged for 20 minuets before I went to ride.

And that's where the 18 month warranty comes in!

True! Just looked and the WPS has a 2 year, just some food for thought. I got mine from Hamburg Honda. I’ll have to see what they can do for it.

LTX9BS is what my link finds.

If your willing to compare and make sure its smaller than 3.875" x 6.375" I'd take one for sure. Let me know and Ill send $85 your way.
