hello everyone, sorry for another battery thread.
My S10 takes a second to crank. The battery hasn't been changed ever and the bike is a 2015 model. I want to change the battery before I am left stranded far from home.
The Authorized supplier for Yuasa batteries in my location doesn't have stock for either YTZ 12S or YTZ 14S. He wont be getting stock for another 3 months due to shipping issues after Covid 19.
He is offering me another Yuasa battery which is TTZ 12s or TTZ 14s. The difference is that the battery is made by Yuasa Taiwan instead of Yuasa Japan, Also it comes with an acid pack which I have to use to get the battery ready.
When I told him that the battery is mounted sideways and not straight, he was a bit skeptical and said its on you. Its generally not recommended because of the battery acid and might leak and ruin the bike.
Can some one who uses a battery with acid please chime in and give me some peace of mind ? I dont want to use batteries from other brands and lithium batteries are too expensive and hard to find here.
Thanks!
