XV1100SE Posted March 3, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 3, 2013 My battery after taking it off charge shows 11.56V. I use a Yamaha Star charger - 1.8 "power" amps, constant current. From what I've seen the recommended is a DEKA AGM drycell ETX20L. NAPA has the ETX20L on sale for $130. Anyone in Ontario recommend somewhere that is less $ ?

Snaggletooth Posted March 3, 2013 Share #2 Posted March 3, 2013 I know someone here located the DEKA's up your way. You might check auto parts suppliers around for a Big Crank ETX20L. Same battery under another label. I've seen some sled dealers selling them to. I hope you can find one for under $130.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithR Posted March 3, 2013 Share #3 Posted March 3, 2013 Don I believe Deka is handled by East Penn in Canada.They label our Honda batteries as well as some of the other imports. I pretty sure the label Carquests as well. so if you have any contacts there they may be able to point you in right direction.

Guest divey Posted March 3, 2013 Share #4 Posted March 3, 2013 I just bought the Deka ETX20L from SaskBattery out of Saskatoon. Check them on-line at saskbattery.com. $114.50 (plus HST) delivered to my door. Quick and excellent service from the owner Mark. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted March 4, 2013 Called East Penn... they quoted $160 but when I asked about local retailers in Kitchener they suggested Battery Wholesale. Their retail price is $115. Thanks for the input ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

van avery Posted March 8, 2013 Share #12 Posted March 8, 2013 I've had quick service and good prices from http://www.bohannonbattery.com/html/motbat/18lbs.html Pruchased a AGM battery on Monday evening and I already have it today, Thursday. Was also cheaper than the matching AGM battery from Walmart. Shipping to Texas was free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share #13 Posted March 8, 2013 Thanks for the input ! Bought my new Deka battery yesterday locally for $115 + taxes. Just another one of the things I get from VR.org.... recommendations on what to buy can save a lot of time and effort. Only thing I had to do was find a place with the best price, knowing what make/model to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share #15 Posted March 8, 2013 Battery Wholesale 320 Lawrence, Kitchener Seemed like good people to deal with. I called them at the end of the day and said I wouldn't make it there before they closed.... they said they'd wait for me. Had the battery on the counter before I got there. $115.... same as the cheapest web site I could find in Canada. If you are looking for a dealer closer to you, call East Penn (in London) and ask them for a retail store in your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share #20 Posted March 9, 2013 Put the new battery in today... fired right up ! Finished off my winter plans for the bike.. - carb covers - passenger highway pegs - remove gps tracker - rewire under drivers seat to replace previous splicing with wiring harness from a member - changed fuel filter - changed oil and filter - put air in shocks (took them down to 0 psi for storage on the lift) - since the bike is on the lift, good time to put air in the tires - reset my radio stations (what a pita) Ready to ride ! Not bad temps today, heard a few bikes out. I can wait until we get a couple good rains to get rid of the grit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
