Flat battery

[patrick]

Just do a Google search for 1400gtr battery.
I found loads from £40 cheapies to £150+ for Lithium Ion.
Personally I'd get this one.

If you can afford it get a Li-ion battery.
Lighter, 21Ah and should last for much longer than any lead-acid type.

What a battery monster 

For that money I can change new battery every 6 months for next 3 years. 

It's not that I can't afford it, it's just that I think that so much money for battery is overkill.
Pb battery lasted me for 6 years and I think that's just more than enough. If next one lasts for 3, I am happy.

Anyhow, thanks guys for advice.

Some people on the zzr forum have used motoblatt batteries, apparently they are quite powerful.

a good quality lead battery is more than capable enough, saving weight is a bit pointless with a gtr, ive always had several years from all my bike batteries, just cant see the justification in a lithium battery

BTW yesterday I got LANDPORT YTX14AHL-BS.  In my place costs about 50€. It was recommended to me by Kawasaki repair guy, he sad that he installed them in police bikes couple years ago and that he did not herd from them since. I also got 1 year guaranty. Sounds promising. We will see.

After a recommendation by a member on here I checked the battery alas it was the original one it's done well 5 yrs.rather than parting with £100+ at the dealer's I purchased the yuasa YTX 14-BS.of flea-bay for £45. 6 months warranty and Delivered
( this was recommended on this site ) cock on in size all dimensions except for markings you would think it's the same .

I have a Motobatt installed at the moment. 14Ah for £44
Its the third battery the bike has had, its an 07 with 43000miles

07 with 56k miles and still on the original battery. Accumate is a batteries best friend. :-)
I've probably jinxed it now :-(
