OK, that time of year again, ( Time for yearly service on the bikes ) ie: both of them.
So, I as thinking, its been a long time, since replaceing batteries, So order a new Odyessy AGM, PC-545 for the
Busa, and anew PC-680 for my #2 battery in the RSTD. ( that bat was the #2 on the old 89 I sold 3 years ago )
Ok, switched them out today, and was surprised to see the date on the Old Busa battery, 11/04 !! 10 years,
ago !!! Wow, I havehad that bike almost 11 years, how time fly's as they say.
I checked the voltage on the old Odyessy, 545, it was still reading 12.8 Volts. Hmmm ?? Interesting.
Installed the new PC-680 Odyessy, in the left saddle bag on the RSTD, checked the old one, still reading 12.6 V
So, 10 years service on the Odyessy PC-545, and about 8 years of service from the PC-680. Not to shabby.
Frankly, its hard to believe ??? I guess AGM, dry cells are the way to go, as they say !!
Well, if anybody is interested, or needs to replace an old Lead Acid, type ----
The two old batteries, are still good, so will use them to power some Ham Radio , equipment in the garage.
