Interstate Batteries YTX12-BS 12V 10Ah Powersports Battery 175CCA AGM Rechargeable Replacement for Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki Motorcycles, Scooters, Bikes, ATVs, UTVs (CITX12-BS)

I bought this battery less than 2 years ago and already it won't hold a charge. I'll never buy this brand again.

I had been having weird gremlin problems in my motorcycle like a starter that would hesitate or keep going long after I had stopped pressing the button. After discussing the problems on a motorcycle forum, they suggested testing the battery before looking at purchasing a starter. My first tester said the budget no-name battery was good and a higher quality tester said otherwise. I decided to buy a brand name and Interstate has always been a brand my father trusted. Since buying this battery, I haven't had a single problem with my motorcycle. Spend the extra few dollars and buy a name brand. The budget batteries do not last.

I prefer the DIY activation over factory activated power sports batteries. Don’t have to worry about getting a battery that’s been sitting activated on a shelf for months or more.I activated it per the instructions, let it sit for 4 hours to reach room temp and ensure complete saturation, then left it connected to my NOCO genius 1 for 24 hours.Rested voltage reading 6 hours after charging is 13.32v.Installed on my TRX250TM and it fired right up.Will circle back to comment on longevity, as the true test comes this winter when it’ll get exposed to single digit and sub-zero temps, but I don’t expect any issues.

Initially I didn’t like that the acid was outside the battery, and I needed to put it in. But once it came in it was way easier than I expected.I bought this one to replace a cheaper option I had tried before and I am so happy that I paid the extra money to get this one, it has held up great over time.

I've purchased a few cheap Chinese batteries on Amazon. Funny how each one of those garbage batteries has left me stranded. No more will I go that route. Spend the extra few dollars and get a reliable brand. Cheap Chinese Junk No More!!!!

I use interstate batteries in anything I have that needs a battery, car, truck, tractor, lawnmower, motorcycle and this one,cytx12-bs, is for a 4-wheeler ATV.In my pass work years, I owned and operated an auto service for thirty plus years. I sold interstate batteries and others, with interstate batteries giving the least issues.I highly recommend interstate batteries.I have an interstate battery with confidence in everything I own. Thanks for the opportunity to write this review.

The battery was the identical size and amperage needed for an exact replacement to the original. It arrived quickly, was easy to set-up, charge and install. I'm happy with my purchase, only time will tell how it last. I had other Interstate batteries which I've been happy with, hoping for the same with this one. This battery is a replacement for my 2012 Triumph Bonneville

My three year old battery on my 1999 VFR800 was getting pretty tired. I replaced it with this one and everything seems to be working fine.

So far so good. El Bandito Grande cranks up every time. Even if it sits for a while.
