The bike started with no problem after sitting for over four months and sucking on the Tender. Rode it for a couple of hours and parked it. Hooked to the Tender as I always do after a ride. Two days later and the Tender light is flashing and the battery shows 6.68 volts. Never seen a battery fail like that before. It was purchased on 9/15/2005. Just wanted to share yet another weird failure mode. | ||

"6 YEARS", hay that's 4 years more than what it was supposed to last !!! For 2 years warranty "PLUS" BATTERY TENDER equals 6 years ... You got your monies worth !!! | ||

Switch to an interstate brand battery. Far better and at only $75 if you can find one around. Or if you know someone who is a interstate battery dealer have them order you one. | ||

My battery just died sunday morning, it was the original. one more month and it would have been 10 years old. | ||

The dealer just quoted me $130 for a new battery! Sounds awfully high. I thought it was more like $105. I wonder if I had asked for a Sportster I would have been given a cheaper replacement. I'll have to check and see. Prey, you got a great deal. The Interstate site shows a couple and they're in the $120 range. Besides the closest dealer is 30 miles away.

Deka 14ETX or bust. All other conventional lead cell batteries are inferior. | ||

I guess i should have mentioned that i am an interstate battery dealer....and i get it at wholesale and not retail. That military grade battery sounds awesome!! | ||

The Odyssey looks like the mother of all batteries and even pricier than the HD... Deka seems reasonable and I'll probably save ~$20 but hey they have the nicest guy behind the counter and their Buell mechanics are top notch at Long Branch HD here in New Joisey... Besides, I'm not sure if I can tolerate the site of my "sick" X1 for another few days... We'll see.... | ||

I've run that Odyssey battery in a sportscar. Best battery you can buy, one will be going in my m2 | ||

I have an odyssey battery and be sure u charge it with 6 amps and not 2 amps like the other motorcycle batteries. It wouldn't start my bike with a full charge so I went and bought one from hd the day after the price went up and spent 145. Then the guy at odyssey told me the way to charge it. | ||

so is this the correct fit and orientation for a 2002 M2? Odyssey PC545MJ |
