Hi Bros, I have been riding for 3 yrs on this shadow 750. Wondering what is my battery life span. Must I change the battery? Try to avoid convenience if bike cannot start. Tks

Hi Gohjohan, can you explain how by not whacking your bike too high, helps to look after your battery or help the rectifier in any way. Would appreciate your kind comments.

Normally two to three years.

Install a battery indicator

how old must the battery be for the reconditioning?

[ah786786]

As for me i clean the contact points with electical cleaning solution,making sure no rust or acid built up/those greenish whitish stuff.

 

making sure no leakage,and making sure the battery gets charged properly,for this a volt meter will be a great use.

Dun overload them - charge them especially if the bike is not begin use often.

Frankly speaking, how many of us maintain our battery...

 

how old must the battery be for the reconditioning?

 

I recommend reconditioning once a year, but heavily used battery, like electrical forklifts & stackers should recondition twice a year.

There is a lot of confusion on this " dry cell " battery - are u refering to Mantenance Free " MF " battery. Or are u refering to " AA " & " AAA " type dry cell battery. I am refering to Automotive batteries.... most are acid-filled & some are acid-filled but fully cover to prevent leakage so " MF ". Then there are the Gel type as well. The " dry cell " like Ni-Cad, Ni-MH & Lithium Ion battery requires different charging system..

from wat i heard those normal brands battery can last ard 9 mths... good brands can last 1 year... i am using yuasa for 2 years now...

[limbat]

Good quality bike batteries can last an average of 4-5 years if she is not overloaded. The poor quality batteries cannot last even a year most of the time.

yup was refering to the automobile's batteries....

[limbat]

BTW, all " MF " batteries must be charged using a electronic battery charger. It is widely known now that those ppl who charge the "MF" batteries using the old type charger - tends to over charge the battery & damage the battery.
