Replacement battery advice

Recommended Posts

Hey everybody long time no ride and no see! Hope you've all been well?

You may recall I have a 2012 DRZ 400 which now needs a new battery. 

Any advice like where to buy, where not to buy, preferred brands or types, brands or types to avoid would be MUCH APPRECIATED.

Many thanks in advance.

Charlie

CV4- same as Ballistic with a CV4 brand label

Ballistic- https://www.ballisticparts.com/

great price!!,good company I've used them but they seem to die at a faster rate, at least the first issue models did- they did't have a cell charge balance circuit, that I know of, unless the latest evo units do.

Used these in my Italian Huskys (TXC450,TE310,TXC310R), They used me for a test on my TE310 sent out a (super ultra Lite!!) 4 cell but it failed after a only few months, they sent me a replacement (ulta lite) 8 cell at no cost.
