HELL NO! The Closest he should be to anyone’s food is to be unplugging toilets.

 

Ah, crap. Contacting manufacturer?

 

I hate batteries plus, The people working there are morons

 

I hope that is the case, and that they didn't change "something" in the 4 years since I bought one.

I would never intentionally lead you astray, brother!

 

I suspect that for some reason it decided to quit accepting a charge while we were out riding. Since these bikes run off the battery and not the charging system, everything shut down when it ran out of enough juice to run the bike. I'm fortunate that it happened close to home and not on one of our many trips. So, it's all good - not blaming you at all and I hope I didn't say something that lead you to think I was.

 

Not at all!
I am very interested in the outcome, keep me posted

 

I considered one prior to getting the YUASA the other day.
Spoke w/a rep from Noco and he advised against it.
If you have one you'd better take a jump pack with you.

 

If it’s a 1,5kw starter and the voltage is 12volts then 1,500/12.= 125 amps. That’s why CCA specs are bull ****. I’d rather have higher Ah capacity.

 

Motors are not fixed at what they pull from a source nor what they put out in terms of power. Additionally, nothing is 100% efficient, so a 1.5 kw anything takes significantly more power than that to make the 1.5 kw.

CCA specs are based on ensuring that the chemistry of your battery is sufficient in cold temperatures to have the current needed on tap.

Capacity is also measured in such a way that is mostly meaningless to compare. The only way to have more capacity is to have a physically larger battery. When's the last time you pulled 1 amp from your battery for 30 hours straight? That is not how we use automotive batteries.

All measurements are a compromise. Maybe neither one of them is any good. But you would not want a 125 CCA battery that had double the capacity to start your bike, nor would a 1000 CCA one with half the capacity be a good fit.

 

What about starting current? You know, the current required to start the engine spinning..
