Battery Tesla or YUASA

For the last couple years my riding mower has been starting off of the Yuasa battery that I had taken out of my Valkyrie. I took it out because it was 10 years old and I thought I might be pushing my luck with it. I credit using a tender to give me 12+ years on my bike battery plus it\u2019s a quality battery.

Had this issue with the R1250RT - apparently the hot engine means more compression, so need more power to start - after a while the OEM-battery just doesn’t have the punch.

I upgraded the battery to the Yuasa YTX20CH‑BS and it solved the problem.

At 4 years both our Teslas appear to have essentially the same range as new. Which is to say a bit lower than Tesla advertised but no worse

I prefer Yuasa.

I'm going to turn 230k miles on my 2018 model 3 tomorrow. The only time it has been to a service center is when the 12v battery died on a road trip. Other than that, I've put tires on it. I'm at about 21% degradation but everything still runs as it should. I'm hoping to get to 300k miles on the original battery.

I live in Taiwan and Yuasa batteries are made here so they\u2019re cheap as chips.

After 3 years, my Tesla Model 3’s battery range dropped about 7 to 15 percent, which seems pretty typical based on what others report. It isn’t catastrophic, but it is definitely noticeable for anyone doing longer trips.

My 2021 model 3 is also in for a battery swap. Furtunantely i still got warrenty. Only lasted 100k kilometers.

Yuasa used to make great batteries, would get ten years out of a battery ('91 R100GS) outside w/o a battery tender. Not any more, the last two were good for six or seven months

I should have bought a yuasa. I bought another brand and rode it hard and two days later it wouldn\u2019t start. I ordered a yuasa since that\u2019s what was in there.
