Try your luck with this one
AUGUST in ND – Machine this part was bought for: 2006 KTM 450 EXC 4-Stroke
Comments On Apr 26, 2013:I purchased this battery based on the reviews, good price but I knew I was taking a chance. I got the battery, tested it with the multi-meter and it didn't have the recommened charge. I put it on the 2 amp charger for the day and then tested it. It had the recommended charge so I put it in the bike. It lasted about one stroke of the piston and died, I put the charged on at 10 amps and it was still pretty weak. I got the bike started in the garage took the charger off, and let the bike warm up. I shut it off and then went to start it again and it took right off. I figured it was just the bike was just to cold. I put the trickle charger back on and left it until it said full charge. Went to ride the next day and one uh-rump of the bike and then it was dead again. I called RMC and they are sending me a new one no questions asked which is a good deal. I'll see if round two is going to work for me or if I will be exerciseing my kick start leg.

Make sure fully charged
Allen in CA – Machine this part was bought for: 2005 HONDA CRF450X
Comments On Jan 07, 2013:This battery is priced well. But it needs to be maintained on a tender or charged before using. I just wasn't used to that. As the OEM batteries would hold a charge for weeks/months at a time. It also did not charge enough after kickstarting and riding for roughly 3 hours. Although, the battery does start the bike adequately for the day,if I charge the battery for an hour the night before a ride. Or I sure it would be fine if kept on a tender. Which I don't own.
Additional Comments On Apr 03, 2013:Have had this battery for roughly 4 months and I fully charged the battery per manufacturers specs I have been using this battery on weekend day rides after sitting all week without issue for 3 months. Should have read the directions fully instead of just charging for an hour and calling it good.

Comments On Mar 02, 2013:This battery lasted one season. I replaced it with a lithium. Not very strong, it is only a 90cc motor and it had trouble cranking it.

Don't bother, go for the Lithium batteries instead
KENT in ID
Comments On Sep 18, 2012:I bought this battery thinking it would work better than stock for my 2009 KTM 300 XC-W(e). It was no better than stock, didn't solve the problem that the stock battery can barely start a cold 300. So, I invested in a lithium battery and, oh wow, what a difference. Lots of power, never needs maintained or recharged. The lithium battery Kicks it over at a faster rate so it always starts. (Sorry, this isn't supposed to be lithium battery review, but there is a stark difference between a lithium battery and any other batter.) Of course, if you can't affort lithium, this battery is fine but is just "average."

Not powerful
Andre in UT
Comments On Aug 19, 2012:I bought this to replace a Yuasu of the same size that finally died. This battery is sealed, which is great, but it does not have a lot of power in the 5WT size for a 500cc KTM. The 5 wt is 1 size bigger than stock as well, so there should be plenty of power. It is now dead about 10 months later. Maybe I got a bad apple.

Bought two...
BRENT in TX
Comments On Jan 18, 2012:One for my CBR600 and the other for my crf450x. The battery on my 450x sure doesn't seem to last if I have trouble getting the bike to fire...even after a night's charging. The one on the CBR is excellent.

I don't like this battery
David in OH
Comments On Dec 24, 2011:I'm sorry but you would think a new battery would work at least for awhile but this one only worked a couple of times and then now you have to kick and use the button at the same time for it help at all.

It's a battery
JEFFREY in CA
Comments On Dec 10, 2010:It works just as good as an acid battery. Good for if it's unprotected to harsh conditions due to it not leaking. but for a dirt bike, an acid battery works just fine.
