Re: Best motorcycle battery
"Then there are GEL batteries, and I only mention them as many motorcyclists confuse GEL with AGM. Even though they’re both sealed VRLA batteries, they’re designed for quite different uses. In a GEL battery the electrolyte is mixed with a gel substance making it so thick it will not easily leak out, but that also slows down electrical ion movement. So GEL batteries work great where constant power is needed – like in your home alarm system – but not as starter batteries.
AGM is the best lead-acid starter battery."
Interesting that the BMW (made by Exide) OEM battery spec. for a Camhead is a GEL battery.
