YUAM32X6S YTX16-BS Battery, multi-colored

I just bought two of these. They arrived in a taped Yuasa box and both looked to be in name condition. I followed the instructions for filling them with the acid, letting them sit to absorb the acid, the capping them off and charged them for 24 hours with a Noco Genius 1 charger. I then tested them with my Cancel battery charger and they each tested at 100% capacity with more CCA than advertised. Yuasa makes a great battery that if well maintained will last for 4+ years. Fit perfectly in my Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero and also saved $50 by using it in my Suzuki C90T. Technically, the C90T uses a YTX16-BS-1, but that just meant that the posts are rotated which made installation a bit trickier. I had to use a small ratchet instead of a screwdriver to attach the leads. Positive first and the ground. This was a great deal too! Both bikes started ride up, and I couldn't be happier with these OEM batteries.

Have had it about 5 month and no issues. The many of the other ones just wouldn't crank over the 1800CC and this has no problem. Ships with acid separate so it is fresh. Make sure you charge it for 8 hours at least to initialize it. I think I went for 12-15 on my charger. I used to sell batteries to power plants and cell towers and can attest to how critical it is to give it a long, slow, full charge at the start. If you don't, you'll get half the life.

Battery fit perfectly in my 01 Vulcan Nomad. The process of filling the battery is very simple, but I would do it outside or at least have ventilation. After the filling I let the battery sit for about 3hrs. Then I put the taper cover on and let the battery sit on a trickle charger over night. The next morning after installing the battery, I turned the bike on and could not be more happy. The bike practically jump it was suck a strong crank. I will do my best to come back on here after the season is over and give an update. 3/14/16

This battery arrived with the shipping box in excellent condition. However, the inner box containing the battery looked very old - it was dirty, corners were bent, and it was not sealed or taped shut. Inside, the battery itself also looked very old - it was dirty, did not come with the expected terminal hardware, and the terminals were oxidized. The only thing that looked in new condition was the acid bottle. Apparently, what I received was a very old battery. I added the acid to the battery per instructions online (there were no instructions in the box as is normally the case with new Yuasa batteries), let it sit for an hour, and then put it on a slow charge. After it charged fully, I left the battery on my workbench unconnected for a couple of days in my 65 degree F garage. After a couple of days sitting with no load or current draw, the battery was down to about 50% charge. This battery is performing like it is at the end of its life, not like a brand new battery. Obviously, I paid for a new battery and received something different. There is no option to get a refund, so I have to eat the cost of this mistake. Don't make the same mistake I did! Buy from a reputable source that does a good volume so that you are likely to get a fresh battery with a full usable lifetime.

Even though the seller said the delivery would take approximately 5 to 7 days, I actually received the battery in 2 days. I was totally thrilled. Battery is great , starts the bike up with plenty of power. Will buy again!!

Amazon said this particular battery would not fit my 2013 Triumph Tiger 800. It turns out that this is the exact same OEM model that comes with the bike in the first place. Do not trust Amazon's "will it fit your vehicle" page, because it may give you wrong info. I double checked on both Yuasa's website and Revilla.com to ensure this would fit, but again, it's the exact same make and model that comes with my particular bike. Just make sure you guy a trickle charger for this type of battery and you are good to go.

Got this to replace identical item in my Kawa Vulcan 1600. Impressively, I got just over five years out of this battery. I did use a battery tender every time I parked the bike at home. The item ships dry with a separate fluid filling system. Closely follow the included instructions for filling and activating the battery (do the day before use).

Bought this Yuasa YTX16-BS battery as an exact replacement for the original battery in my 1999 Kawasaki 1500 Drifter. It fit exactly right...positive and negative posts in correct alignment for hooking up the wires. I installed the acid pack per the instructions and put the battery on a 2 amp. overnight charge. Bike starts fine! What more can I say??!! Can't tell you anything about the longevity since I just got it. But, if it's anything like the ORIGINAL ONE THAT LASTED 14 YEARS, I'll be happy!! Almost hated to replace that one since it was still starting my bike.
