The 4-post design of this battery makes it ideal for custom or prototype installations. The high CCA for a battery of this size makes it great for electric start conversions tobies that were built kick-start only.

Fitted fine and transformed the use of the bike. I'm surprised it survived the winter as I noticed the old battery was 12 years old. AGM for this bike is essential as the dipped beam is permanently on. Now the bike starts positively reducing stress on short journeys. These batteries are worth the premium. Note there are no coloured covers as in the picture so make sure you choose the right polarity terminals.

Excellent battery. Initially bought for one of my other bikes, but as the yuasa had died in my cbr1100xx so I fitted it to that instead. Quad flex & 4 terminals are a bonus, but take note... You only get one set of terminal nuts and bolts. Save these off your old battery & you're good to go. DPD had lost the original package in they're depot, but the guys at Tayna sorted that out with a replacement. Would purchase again.

It was a perfect fit for my 2007 Triumph Tiger. The previous Yuasa had been on 8 year and was proving to be unreliable, so time for a change. The battery has been on 3 weeks now and is firing first time when both hot and cold. The battery is also charging to a higher voltage than before with a static reading of 12.9v and 14.8v with the engine running. Great choice so far.

I’ve had one of these on a bike for a few years. Can’t really comment on quality other than what’s visible as bike sat on a charger a lot and not many miles. I bought the same as the old one “looked” like quality and the specs (capacity and cranking amps) supposedly better than other options. I also had used the four terminals which make these different for attachment of accessories and a charger. So I went for the same to enable a straight swap. Unfortunately that didn’t work out because these have changed in the meantime. They're also not as pictured on Tayna’s website or the manufacturer’s datasheet. They make a big thing of the quadflex terminals and instructions and datasheet show supply of two terminals, four domed hex bolts and a hex key. That’s not what you receive. They’ve changed the terminals to a thinner, cheaper design. You can still attach on the top or front, but no longer on the side of the terminal. The bolts are now ordinary ones with nuts…..and they only supply 2 so the other two terminals are useless until you buy more nuts and bolts. The old bolts can’t be reused. No response from Motobatt and Tayna just said “that’s the way they are” despite me pointing out that this is not what’s shown on their website. I contacted the wholesaler who said they’d put me in touch with a retailer to buy some. Another £7 for two bolts. Or you can buy a set of 18 on Amazon etc for a bit more. Thanks for nothing. Fortunately my old school local bike shop provides better service and quickly found me some suitable bolts. The rest of the battery also has signs of going cheaper on manufacture. A silly thing, but possibly indicative of this is, is that the model number lettering is now in an odd font (the one used by Motobatt usually). It also had another number printed on in a font which just screams “generic cheapo Chinese product). Might be nothing, but if they’ve gone cheap on the terminals and these details, what’s changed that you can’t see?

After having another lead acid / AGM battery go down and leave me stranded with an non-operational bike, the choice to go for another sealed Motobatt was a no-brainer, especially on a bike with some intermittent use. Quality and fit is great and terminals and choice of where to connect too is a bonus.
