Battery

900SL Pete · 24-Mar-2005, 18:01

I think I need a new battery every time I come to ride the bike I have to charge the Bl?@dy thing up and it starts but next time I have to charge again. The battery is the original I beleive and has been with the bike now 9 years so I think the time has come to replace.
Q: who knows of the best place to buy a new battery and approximately how much?

Regards
Pete

I thought mine was dieing but noticed the electrolyte was low on a couple of cells, topped it up and stuck it on the optimate and its been fine, turns the motor over much quicker than it used to as well
