So, yesterday I was gonna take my Black Dragon to work. I get on the bike, turn the key...absolutely NOTHING. It was as if I left the lights and all that turned on.
I put it on my battery charger, enough to charge a car battery in an hour, did NOTHING to this battery. I put it on 50A engine start...bike wouldnt even turn over.
So, I start lookin at the local bike shops. ALL CLOSED ON MONDAY!!! Well...Advanced Auto Parts have 2 batteries for our M109Rs. One was the house brand.
The other....OMFG! While reading, I saw 60% lighter, more power, lasts 5x longer. Well...SUPER nice. Plus, my local store had 1 in stock. While online, I saw there
was a code, P20, to give a 20% discount. So When i left work this morning, i was on my phone at a red light, and bought it, LMAO! I get to the store with my
battery, they checked it and said it's pretty much shot.
So he goes get the new battery. "Man, are you sure this is for a motorcycle?". I tell him yes, he cross-checked to make sure, and it is. He then says
"My baby girl's power wheels battery weighs 10 times more than this!". So, I lean over to pick it up... I put the force into it as if it's like the stocker, and i almost
lost it! I literally threw the battery into the air. ITS LESS THAN ONE POUND!!!! Anyway, Here's some pics!:bigthumbsup:
Here you can see how small it is compared to the stocker
Just trying to show how light it is...I could literally put my hand on the table, and flip it into the air with 1 finger.
I think all batteries should have this. It is so damn handy!
Look how it tucks down in there! It does come with spacers to lift it up. I didnt use them. I cut a block of foam to fit on top of it, easy to remove it for space!
