so far so good!
Got this for out youth ATV, fit perfect in the battery slot. 3 month update......... still working fine. have not ridden ATV much at all due to the winter season, ATV has sat for multiple weeks without a battery maintainer or charger and battery still holds its charge and ATV starts right up. I like how it was pre-charged, rather than the one that you have to the add acid and charge before use. It has been over a month and all good still. The only battery drain issue we have so far is when the ATV was being worked on, which was totally expected since the ATV was able to charge it until we got it running. We added a couple accessories, but does not really appear to affect the battery draw to bad. Even when sitting for several days or a week, ATV starts right up even in the cold with not battery tender on it I read through the "bad" reviews and YES a new battery can be bad and yes battery life spans can be good or bad. However some helpful hints: For one batteries can slowly drain while not in use so there is a chance you may need to charge it to first use it, since we do not know how long it has been sitting on a shelf. If the battery has a power draw it will drain it when not in actual use, like leaving a light on or other accessory, especially if you don't run it for long periods of time. keep in mind there can be items that still draw power even with when turned off, so if you use switches rather than direct draw from battery helps reduce that risk. Also using a decent battery tender/maintainer helps. As for life span issues, if you factor the warranty is only a few months and they are small power sport battery not to mention ONLY like $20 the expectation should not be a long lasting battery and even higher end /priced batteries can last the same amount of time. I aways expect the battery life to be 1 season long (a good year in year round warm climates) if it lasts longer that is just a bonus, but not expected. Read more
