The original lasted past the one-year-warranty (barely), but the replacement is still going strong.
I believe that the original was not charged correctly by the dealer, leaving it in a semi-charged state. Even at close to 12K per year, that wasn't enough to carry it through.
I charged the replacement myself, and it's still going strong three years and 60K-plus miles later. I'm in Florida, and ride daily, 30 miles one-way to work, five days per week. I also ride on the weekends, and while on holiday. I do not use a Tender.
Cheers!
Bill
