what types of batteries are most of you running

[guiness92]

bronson uses a 9v duracell.

Yeah but Macgyver uses a watch battery, a toilet brush, a registration sticker, and a pack of hubba bubba grape flavored gum.

Energizer AAA

Someone had to respond to that :smile:

i run an interstate. they hold up pretty well. i had one in my superjet for two summers and my boss has had one in his ski for three or four seasons now.

 

[#ZERO]

The Odyssey 625 has been working better than everything else on my ski. :fing02:

 

[KaosFreestyle]

Walmart and Fleet Farm batteries. I usually have to get a new one every summer. Im planning on getting an Odyssey this Summer and hopefully it will last longer.

 

[TheLostOtter]

Everstart from Walmart. This will be its third season. I put the charger on it for a little bit every month or so.

I have two odyseeys, ones a brand new one that i got as a warrenty replacement. The first one i bought failed within 6 months!!! Odessyes customer service SUCKS!!! they say they will help ya, but they really dont and they change their stories. I had to ship my battery to sacramento and some guy there hooked me up and sent me a replacement for the cost of shipping!!

Same here. Odyssey's [non-existent] customer service sucks bad.

I run a Jetworks and a warranty replacement Odyssey. Not warranty replaced by Odyssey, by the way.

 

[KaosFreestyle]

Where do you guys get your Jetworks battery and is their any difference over an Odyssey?

 

[norcal ex]

Jetworks.net They are suppose to be much better and not fail.

 

[KaosFreestyle]

Cool, guessing you gotta call them cause I dont see any online ordering?

Sealed Tech or KB35XC?? Any difference or advantage for a rec. rider?

 

[Watty]

Deka has been the best brand I have used...

The model number you should go for is ETX-16L.

They are smaller than the standard battery, but come with a spacer so it sits them higher in the battery box so everything sits nice and tight.

I've never had a problem with 3 seasons on mine, and it even started the old hard starting Advent (although it ain't good for the starter/bendix/solenoid)

If you order the above part number, it located the terminals under the exhaust tube, so your battery cables are invisible, and it makes for a nice clean engine bay.

i just got the kb35xc from http://www.atlanticjetsports.com/electric4.htm. I did a search on here and everyone seemed to have better results out of the jetworks.

It wouldnt surprise me if there were only 3 factories for gell cell and AGM, and all the brands being listed were the same in some respects. I know the same is true for Lithium Polymer batteries, there are 40 different brands, but the cells that make up the packs are all from 3 different factories, so brands that people 'like' are all marketing based likings and luck. If someone were to cycle test these batteries and stress test them, that would be the true test. However, it seems that if and when you ever spend over 60 bucks on a gel cell, you get a good battery that lasts a lot lot lot longer then the walmart conventional $40 batteries.

 

[Matt_E]

Just like epoxy resins. :biggthumpup:

 

[meatball]

exactly!

 

[SUPERJET-113]

Going on my 6th year with a Lynn Vick Power Source battery and 2nd year with a Odyssey pc625.

 

[SUPERJET-113]

Matt, in your book does PC in PC625 stand for Piece Crap? lol

:haha:

I know you had some bad experiences with them...

 

[oxnard111]

I'm going on my 4th year on what ever battery comes stock in the SXR. I just purchased a Jetworks battery. I really like it, but don't like the way the battery cables screw in side ways. It requires a 10 mm wrench and a philips screw driver. Which sucks to have to use two tools instead of just one to take your battery cables off.

 

[Waste Land]

just ordered a jetworks xc35. will be nice to not worry about my battery anymore... one less thing to go wrong.

MY thought exactly...and my actions too

bronson uses a 9v duracell.

NO! thats too much weight. He uses the gas to his carbs to spin a turbine to create eletricity, he starts it with a nitro RC rotostart

 

[madoyster]

KB35XC,six seasons on it.
