Seeing as though I am going to be in the market for a new battery this next spring, I came up with a few questions to run by all of you that have "been there, done that".
1. What is the best battery available, with item # for our Big Dogs?
2. Am I incorrect in not wanting less than 300 CCA?
I dimly remember some 800 dollar battery that would start up the Space Shuttle - I don't need anything like that. This comes up as my Chopper has progressivly gotten harder to start, even though I always have it on a charger. My mechanic friend put a multi-meter on it and it drops 3 to 4 volts when you press the start button and he said it should not drop that much. At rest it shows 12.7. Since it is 3 years old, he said that year 3 was living on borrowed time, as they generally are good for two years on average. As always - thanks for the input.
