Which battery would you go for?

[milleplod]

Exide GEL 12-19.......rated at 19Ah/170CCA  or
Exide AGM 12-18......rated at 18Ah/250CCA  or
Yuasa VRLA ............rated at 19Ah/170CCA (cheapest of the 3 by £10 but its 'wet').

Do I go for extra ooomph with the bigger CCA, or the slightly bigger capacity? If it makes a difference, my '06 RT isn't loaded with options, having only ABS and heated grips and its original battery was a BMW-badged Exide of 19Ah.

For £50, I'd consider one of these, https://www.mdsbattery.co.uk/yt19bl-bs- ... ttery.html

The Exide GEL 12-19 is available from Euro Car Parts this weekend with 40% discount, comes out at £65, https://www.eurocarparts.com/basket

Thanks for that info - I didn't realise ECP did bike batteries....there's one near me and I've just reserved the only one they've got in stock for Tuesday pickup!

Excellent, an Exide battery for less than half the price of the identical BMW one, without the badge.





Spot the difference.
