Battery Life

[MikeS]

I replaced my battery on my 2016 last year more out of precaution really!

The battery was good but a couple of times I had the bike not turn over and the clocks reset so I thought best to be safe than sorry

Mine does the same if i use the kill switch or stall the bike. Won't start unless i turn the ignition off and on again ( resets the dash presets). BMW tells me the batterys fine but cant identity any fault. Starts faultlessly otherwise.

Always a good indication that your battery’s on its way out, mine was replaced for the same reason.

I would replace it out of peace of mind

Ordered this EXIDE ETX20CH-BS last night from Tayna and it was here at 1030! 20 minutes to get old battery out and new one in, another 20 minutes trying to get the battery cover back on. Gave up, there's a strap around it.

The Yuasa (wet flooded) battery on my Yamaha XJ650 is 7 years old.

I detected (or perceived) a slight labor in turning over at startup, so I replaced the battery after 5 years and 35K miles. Stored on a trickle charger during Nov-Mar winter months. No charging during riding season.

9 years on original battery. Use BMW charger probably 3 times a year and no issues to date.
