My battery was the [factory one from 2007], changed it in 2023. Couldn't find a replacement Varta back then and had to choose fast, so I picked Yuasa (Japanese brand) and it's working good till now.

Pros: working good

I bought a shorter mobility scooter battery with same chemistry as the original, YUASA REC36-12, however the polarity was reversed. I extended the negative pole and installed it without an issue and car came back to normal.

Pros: car came back to normal

Cons: polarity was reversed

Part number: REC36-12

Unfortunately have to disagree about Yuasa, This 2018 battery is not the same as what you will get as a replacement from Yuasa today. I think they moved manufacturing from Taiwan and the quality has fell. My last two DRZ400 batteries were Yuasa and they didnt last 2 years. Even with tender on for the few months I didnt ride the bike.

Pros: tender on for months

Cons: quality has fell

I bought a Yuasa battery from AutoPro, and they told me it comes with a 2-year warranty. After about one and a half years, the battery almost completely died. I had it tested and was told it was dead and needed replacement.

Pros: 2-year warranty

Cons: battery almost completely died

Vehicle: Lexus LS

I bought a 6v Yuasa battery for my old Harley and it lasted about six months. Would drop from fully charged to 2.5 volts in a week of sitting.

Cons: lasted about six months
