canthai55 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hi Joe. I have used Yuasa and the GB Both seem to perform as well, and last as long Would not be surprised if they made in the same factory, as only the name is different 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwasaki Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Batteries well must say for bikes I have always use Yuasa. For my CBR900RR locally I couldn't get a battery for a big bike so I ask my Thai mechanic friend to get me a Yuasa, he got me a Thai battery 800 baht, I said why didn't you get a Yuasa he said why pay so much these are just as good. Well it remains to know I'm still skeptical, I have to say it's had a hard life up till now while I was testing the bike electrics, run it flat 3 times and it took long time to run it flat. Charged up quickly and reading just as new on the multimeter for over a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
