arbine;7644514']ytz14s suppose to be better... no need to "poke" the water in and higher cca

 

Is this a good battery? Where to get?

 

Btw, I'm getting my busa Gen1 this coming week, battery is weak (wondering rectifier/coils are faulty as well?)

 

 

Ya, YTZ14S is better. Some spec comparison,

 

1) YTZ14S - 12AH, CCA 200

2) TTZ14S - 11.2AH, CCA N/A

3) Stock Gen 1 YT12A-BS - 9.5AH, CCA 175 (Based on K6 model)

4) Stock Gen 2 YTX12-BS - 10AH, CCA 180 (Based on K9 model)

 

I couldn't find any CCA info for TTZ14S. Just get something that is same or 1 size bigger will do. But make sure the pyshical size fits the battery compartment. Although the higher the CCA, the better. But I ass-u-me that TTZ14S at least got CCA 190 bah, worst case cannot be lower than CCA 180????? LOL....

 

Oh ya, regarding those need to pour acid in and those factory gel type. Try to buy those pour acid in. Because you don't know how long those factory gel type has been stored locally. If it has been left unused for too long, it will spoilt also. Even if the shop occasionally charge the battery, it will also deplete the charging cycle. My company bought brand new Yuasa battery direct from Japan. After store in our warehouse for around 1.5yrs, gone case. Totally flat and cannot be saved. Those acid one can store longer before pouring in to activate it.

yes got your point....

btw guys, how long did your stock batteries last you?

[carbine]

Ok ok. I will ask them to check since i going to bikeshop later. SIAN ! Have to work in the afternoon !

 

the last time i kena something like that was because of a loose batery terminal....

arbine;7645040']yes got your point....

2yrs 4 months on my stock. Not yet totally spoilt but can feel getting weaker. Still holding on to it for other DIY stuff.

Bro, think a mechanic check will be better for you now. The more we humtum, the more you have to check. Sooner or later, you can change the whole bike liao.

Actually with proper maintenance, battery can last very long. So what you are doing now is actually good for the battery.

[Laguna11]

Believe it or not, my bike is back into cold turkey. Haha.. Didn't get to ride it for close to 2 weeks already!

 

believe that lol.. well when's the next thrill ride ?

Just now installing a YTZ14S battery and saw it written 11.8AH and CCA 230!

[kinwei]

YTZ14S - 150 x 87 x 110 mm

YT12A-BS - 150 x 87 x 105 mm

 

The difference is in the height. Meaning it might touch against your rider seat cause battery taller by 5mm. Or other rider using YTZ14S can chip in their experience. One way is to cut the underneath of your rider seat to accomodate the taller battery.

 

If you are lazy, just stick back to the stock battery model.

You got PC3? If not, you try disconnecting your TRE and try again. If yours is GI with TRE, then disconnect the whole thing.
