I need a New battery
« on: March 27, 2007, 09:29:27 PM »
Anyone know any place around North-West Houston that sells the YTX14-BS battery cheap?
I called a Honda dealer and a Yamaha dealer near my house and they were selling them for about $78.00.  :'(

Is there a different battery that can be ran.

My ACE is dead and it uses the same battery as the 1300 C.
Volts drop to 6-7 and the bike won't turn over when trying to start.
Had it on a trickle charge for a about 24 hours, and it still doesn't have enough juice

03 1800C bought Aug. 26 and road home 1000+ miles in about 16hrs
05 1300C sold July 21 damaged by 2 deer and road
01 ACE 750 25K miles and sold

Call C&C Cycles at 281/419-8786. They're located at 379 Sawdust Road; about five doors west of Kroger.

How quickly do you need it? HondaDirect has them for $59.34. You'll probably have to find a battery shop to put the acid in for you though. They probably come dry.

Thanks
did the walmart thing since it was cheapest.
shipping from HDL and then the acid thing may have cost more, but needed it quick.

All said and done  walmart charged $62.94 with a $3 TX batt. charge and a $7 core charge and then tax 5.07.
78.01
after returning the old batt. got back 7.58

final cost $70.43 :'(
still spent more than I would like, but I guess that's the price you pay with these special batteries

Hey... look at it this way, I paid $25.00 for battery for a watch...  $80.00 for a motorcycle battery is not bad...

must be a pretty nice watch to spend 25 on a battery. O0

Me personally would have bought another watch for 10 bucks or so,  :o
but who needs a watch when you have a cell phone  :P

can we have some pictures of the watch so I know to stay away from it...... ;D
