what batteries do you have the best luck with?

Batteries

I personally kike the Yuasa YBL16CL-B ? battery from the Kawasaki 650 SX, Polaris watercraft, and possibly the Superjet? It's 19 cranking amps and has the "spill proof" tops. If I'm building a ski with total loss ignition, i use these.

For most riders, my favorite "maintenance free" battery is from JETWORKS. I find that most of the maintenance free batterys don't hold a peak charge very well. If you buy a low priced battery designed for motorcycle applications, the cells can collapse and leave you with no spark..

Remember, this is just my opinion, and based on my experiences.
Thanks,
Randy

I've had two Odyssey's and 1 Jetworks that came with my B1 when I bought it. That Jetworks battery has by far and wide been the best for me. Very little MX and holds a charge very well. I personally prefer the Jetworks.

I can concur that the new odysseys are junk. Bought on in the middle of summer last year. It worked all summer/fall. Took it out of the ski and put it in the house. Kept it charged and everything. I put it back in the ski in the spring, it was showing full charge, but had no cranking power. I babied that battery. What a POS..

I've gotten 6 year before on the Lynn Vick power sources, but I think those are just Jetworks batteries with their name on it.
I currently have 2 of the Lynn Vick Power Sources. 1 is 2 years old and the other is 1 year. Its all I buy. Screw Walmar Neverstart batteries. I couldnt even make them last 3 months in this heat..

The Walmart Neverstarts are garbage, for sure. I've had great luck with my 2 Odysseys so far. Sealed batteries all the way for me. I'll gladly spend more for peace of mind, easy maintenance, and no acid holes in my clothes.

I have a 2 year old Walmart battery and a 4 year old walmart battery. I dont even charge them over winter. Just take them out, put them on the work bench, drop them in come spring time and hope it starts. Has every time so far, just tried it last night.

Wow, that almost hard to believe. Good for you!

I've learned my lesson with those walmart acid batteries.
 
i have 3 Odysseys, one is going on 4 years old and the others are two+ i will never by a standard battery again. I will probably by jetworks next time. maybe in another 4 years
