Well, I knew I was on borrowed time with my '04 battery.
Went to go for a ride today ( 50f ) and turned the key... lights on, pump whine, press key... clack! Nothing!!
Ok, turn off key, turn on key Nada!! no lights or anything. Voltage test with meter and its at 10v or basicly stone dead. The only thing that prob kept it alive this long was the tender and it had a bit of juice till I tried to crank.... V must have dropped like a rock.
So, now its time to buy a new battery and the big decision;
Spend $200 on a LiFe Shorai or go with a standard Sorpion for $72 or a OEm for about $140... tough decisions
