Hey Scott , are you upset with us ? Please don't yell at us .

I'm sure he's not yelling, maybe it's just not knowing about all Caps. Scot when one places a word in capital letters it means a stronger emphasis on the word like DO NOT use caps.

To word do and not in all caps means you are strongly saying do and not like if you were at home and saw a baby reach for something hot you would of course be loud in say NO NO NO don't touch that.

The reason I know you're not yelling in your posts is there is no exclamation points there like in DON'T! In computer lingo all caps means to a lot of people that you're yelling at them. Just wanted to explain what TV was saying.

Thanks JR

Actually, some of us older folks are a bit hard of hearing and appreciate some forum volume

[Luke]

yah i dunno why here in the US if you use caps it means your'e yelling and mad! in Asia that's nothing! my goodness!
omg i remember i got in trouble with my navy co- worker because of that capital letters when i migrated 12 yrs ago.. such a big deal, i told him grow up!!!!
now please lets get back to the real topic,,, the battery issue.


right tvmannac? my onion skinned friend,, lol
just kidding sir

There is a difference in batteries and also a difference in price. In most cases you do get what you pay for. I use and sell Interstate Batteries and yes they are not cheap. I have tried just about everything else on the market and have personnally found them to be top shelf, if not the best on the market. Another aspect to look at is the warranty, to my knowledge, Interstate is the only company that offers a 1 year, non prorated, no hassle, nation wide, free replacement on their powersports batteries. All you have to do is take your bad battery and receipt to any Interstate Dealer and get a new one within the warranty period.

One thing to keep in mind, charging systems on scooters, atvs and motorcycles are not meant to charge a dead battery.

Well,I'm just saying,Walmart sold me one ,11 amp,.still working--I just checked,they got 2 of them for $59.95 and 79.95 ...rapidjim probably can just about match that price,and he is a valued member and vendor--happy trails,fflintstone----btw--if you run your scooter for awhile and then let it set up for weeks,the battery is not going to last very long--I'm just saying---happened to me

I was told bye a jap bike tech to give it full charge though they had given the battery 18 hour trickle charge on exspencive charger not all of us have one of those ,then bring it in house at normal temps,its good for a month or 2 then slow charge it inside only in winter when not using it ,an I never had trouble but then I had the top end yuasa batterys then,so now I bought a middle I guess type power sourse seems to have desent one ,I guess realy what it come down to is the luck of the draw ,an some how we take care of them making sure they don't go dead one to many times.,i read reviews about the tms at one sight for a cheap battery it had good 4 star rateing ,an I guess one guy had 2 leakers in a row ,well I did not want to be that guy but only time will tell ,I hear good an bad if we dont take care of them 33.00 to 250.00 one can pay for a battery,they wont last long ,I guess .one is more likely to get a leaker or bad one the cheaper there made ,the powersouce has one year warranty ,no questions asked replacement ,as long as not abused ,was what i was told bye seller on ebay ,so again I guess tires batterys ,its different strokes for different folks .some tell me I take to good care of my things,i don't think that's possible couse I fall short to ,just for instance most day one could eat off my wheels speaking back to my summer car,16 coats of wax a year ,I have the time couse I work at home

just examples rims 6 years. old rear tires 5 an 40.000 good old chinese tire rated for 30.000,this is the open discushion 97000 runs like kitten the 95 zs8 I talked about falkins Chinese tires z rated   but I love american made things,its the world our govermant that had us buying these great looking Chinese scootersoh the price to hehe I not upset just stressed it winter an cold      an I have don't a lot of preventive maint too stp oil treatment a must full syn oil Castrol syntec    got nitrous,dont use it though until about 150.000 when  read for one then blow it to an a lot more ,but I guess we are not talking cars just tires hehehehehe

turns out they ended up giveing me the upgraded battery from powerideoutlet ,that was 49.99 upgrade the gtx 9-b ,so I am not sure what the actuall battery would have been ,its 8ah ,the power sourse is 11ah an 250cca,but so far the one they gave me I have to give more credit for it,they do need a slow charge ,they say charge it for 2hours is good ,but its not ,an on a regular charger ,it can couse boiling ,so from now on it will be the 1amp trickle charger ,its got to be better then throwing a slow 6 amps at it ,wich is realy made for the car battery so for anyone thinks all batterys are the same when comes to charging they are not ,so guess to some up my thought for now slow is good when charging,then when rideing season put the tender on it few times a month depending on how long the ride is ,a car battery uses a different higher amp charge or low to for longer ,the scooter battery should allways have a low amp charge or so wikpedea says ,I could be wrong as I am a lot but what works for me ,an the tms I talk about I put on over 2 hour charge was boiling at 2,5 hours an not takeing a full charge,so that was proof I guess they want you to buy more batterys ,lesson learned
