YuasaYUAM7212A YTZ12S Factory Activated YTZ High Performance AGM Battery

Yuasa Japan makes the most dependable longest lasting batteries in my many years of motorcycling experience. I have consistently been getting 5+ years on multiple motorcycles I own. This last Yuasa purchase to replace a battery on a 2000 year Honda RC51. The original Yuasa in that 2000 Honda lasted over 6 years. The first replacement I purchased for that 2000 Honda was a Yuasa original spec replacement. And it just died so from around 2006 until now in 2016 I have had 1 brand new purchase Yuasa in my 2000 Honda motorcycle! That's 10 years folks! I start it every week to circulate fluids and charge it up. It gets a slow charge 1 time a month wether it's winter or summer. Its a slow trickle charge charger from hunting section walmart 12v-6v selectable $12.99. Low amperage charge and indicates when fully charged. Again 10 years on last Yuasa battery purchase! It is the only battery in my ATV's, street bikes, and everything else I can buy them to fit for. They are serious quality. And have never left me stranded. Something to think about when you go motorcycling by yourself and take a stop to enjoy scenery in middle of nowhere with no one else around for hours!!! Again never left me stranded and have always had 5+ years service life from every Yuasa I've purchased. So when it comes to $ think now about when a cheap crappy battery is going to strand you either in cold or extreme heat or just whenever, the headache isn't worth what the difference in the price of Yuasa battery vs. whatever you think you've saved. Enjoy those savings when the tow bill and headache and ultimately another battery purchase is looming. Good luck on your decision of a battery. This is experience from a 3rd generation motorcyclist. My forefathers ran Yuasa also!

Although I always keep my motorcycle batteries on a tender, batteries don't last forever and mine give me plenty of warning when they are finally giving up the ghost. The bike will briefly stall just as it's starting and my tripometer will reset. It does this for a few weeks and then the battery goes bye bye for good. So I got out ahead of it this time and bought this battery after it happened a couple of times. So far, so good. Nice and peppy. Fast starts. Takes a full charge quickly like a new battery should. I expect it to last 4 or 5 years at least. I'll update if there's any surprises.

I have to admit I was worried buying a battery online. What if I had a problem, can't go to the local shop. Well I'm glad I purchased this item . The local dealer wanted $210 for the same exact battery. And it was the last one so hurry down and get it.Battery was charged and ready to go. I installed it within 10 minutes and my wife's bike started up fine.Great value, great service. Thanks guys.

After 12 years of Amazon Prime I am a very happy customer. This motorcycle battery was my first "used" purchase but what a pleasant surprise. Hard to believe it was ever "out of the box". Like new, like advertised, I saved about 25%

The original Yuasa battery lasted 7 years. The bike is a 2014 model.The Amazon guide for battery fitment is incorrect in the case of this motorcycle.But it is easy to read the correct type from the original.These are perhaps $30 or so more expensive than other brands, but bearing in mind the reliability and longevity, it seems very good value.Arrived quickly.

Don't buy batteries from Amazon. This is the second one of these I have purchased and they do not put any protection around them. The first one was six months old and failed because of damages. This is a high quality battery that has always lasted a few years. This second one I purchased is actually cracked on the bottom. After a lengthy chat and submitting a photo, Amazon won't replace this and only offered a "partial refund"...

My 2009 Honda Shadow Spirit has been sitting in the garage for months. Unfortunately, I forgot to leave it on the battery tender, and when I went to start it up, the battery was dead. Hooked the dead battery to the battery tender for a few nights, and still couldn't start the bike. Then I went to AutoZone where they charged up the battery. Still wouldn't work. Then I went to Pep Boys, and they sold me a shady battery. Took it home, and didn't have the right size terminal nuts and bolts to install it. So, I went to Home Depot, with the Pep Boys battery, and bought nuts and bolts. Brought them home, and you know what... they're the wrong size, and a real pain to work with. Unfortunately, the Pep Boys battery wasn't a good fit in the bike. It barely even fit in the battery box. I had to use plier to pry that sucker out. Took it back to Pep Boys for a refund.Finally, I gave up, and did my research and found this Yuaua YTZ12S battery. A perfect fit. It came with the hardware as well. Installation couldn't be easier. I wasted all day trying to replace the bike battery, and I should have just ordered this in the first place!Now the bike starts no problems, and I'll be riding off into the sunset.

My Yuasa died today. It feels like I just put the thing in there, but Amazon says I bought the last one in March 2020. It's been an exceptionally hot summer, so maybe the thing cooked earlier than I expected. My last Yuasa lasted six years.Four years is reasonable, to me.
