QUOTE(Matchy @ May 22 2023, 09:22 AM) Anyone that bought battery online such as lazada/shopee? is it a lot of counterfeits? Dude, don't buy those items which has warranty from online platforms. Most of the online warranty services is questionable. Go buy from physical shop instead.. |

QUOTE(alexei @ Feb 1 2021, 09:03 AM) Gel battery cannot tahan overcharging, and die very fast when that happens. Either use normal lead acid, or AGM. Unless u r using smart tickle charger which can chk & determine the battery power strength will stop charging once the battery power strength has reached the peak.. I convert my kapcai to lithium battery liao. Now outside also sell Lithium battery for bikes. My company kapchai(Suzuki Smash 110) already adopted 12v 7.2a SLA battery long time ago..

QUOTE(alexei @ May 22 2023, 08:39 PM) Good to see you here. The Lithium pack still in service, time flies. erm, that SLA battery is commonly found in Auto gate/house alarm panel/smaller size UPS.My bike regulator will cut to 6V when no battery detect. the BMS has overcharge protection. I guess it works. When you adopt SLA, you're referring to MF over the conventional flooded? Or, something else? Lead proof & MF type. Just got my b2 last year August.. as I am thinking of changing job. |

QUOTE(alexei @ May 23 2023, 08:51 AM) afaik it doesn't have valve, and it's constantly under negative pressure By the time the battery swelled & start leaking, it means it has reached EOL..once it goes positive pressure, the rubber cap will bulge, or starts to leak if the glue doesn't hold Ok, local battery news.. Yuasa MY confirmed closing its manufacturing plant in Sg.Petani. So, all incoming products(vehicle battery) wil be either from Indonesia or Thailand branches. |

QUOTE(alexei @ May 23 2023, 04:44 PM) So, the factory becomes battery manufacturer for another brand? No, Yuasa MY no longer produce vehicles battery, those who worked in the manufacturing plant will get retrenchment.. Yuasa MY become trader (importer, just like GP battery). This means Yuasa motorcycle battery supply will be affected too.I believe it's the last year strike made the Japanese management doolan.. so, they decided to close it down. U can search the news for details. |

QUOTE(alexei @ May 23 2023, 06:57 PM) I saw some news, Honda Yuasa JV a few billion. Yuasa battery which made in Malaysia is history now..Easy to give up ppl who they deem 'unfaithful' to hands that feed them. Just a wild guess. As for imported yuasa Motorcycle battery, the YTX series from Indonesia & YTZ series from Thailand. Based on pass past experience, Thailand yuasa battery is more stable than Indonesia Yuasa battery. |

QUOTE(alexei @ May 24 2023, 08:29 AM) but YTZ is more modern AGM than YTX... could that be why? No idea but, I experienced few YTX battery DOA last year.. after filled Acid which came with the battery, that battery getting hotter without charging. The voltage readings is about 10.x V.Normally such battery will getting warm after the acid is filled in. The readings is 12.x V. Just do a short charging will be good to use.

QUOTE(alexei @ Oct 30 2023, 07:24 PM) measure voltage before you charge everytime, this will tell Not so "high tech" bike consume less battery power during idle.. Those keyless scooter sure drains lots of battery power during idle periods. |

QUOTE(haturaya @ Nov 4 2023, 11:17 AM) Not really. My keyless PCX hand been sitting for nearly 2 months without starting, with alarm / immobiliser switch on. The battery still good acter 2 months. Single crank can start. Well, I have a customer who owns an adv160.. he left his bike unused for a week, the battery power is 11.2v which is not strong to start the bike. He took the battery to me request charging the battery. |
