Well yesterday I went to start my Trike and the battery did not have enough juice I put it on charge and still not enough. I tested it and it finally gave up the ghost. Now this is the Original Battery that it came with back in March of 2009 so it lasted over 4 1/2 years. Today I broke down and setup the (9AMP Interstate<-- ) battery that I had bought from JIM when he did my motor. Filled it up with the acid let it sit for 30 minutes then put the charger on set it for 2amp charge and it took about 1 hour to fully charge. Slapped that sucker in Retracted the Enricher(Manual Enricher) and squeezed the brake and hit the start button and VROOOOOMMMM. Sure is nice to have a well tuned motor none of this crank crank crank and hope it fires, always starts on 1 push of the start button Put the volt meter on it and just like always at IDLE it is cranking 14.4-14.5 Alleyoop

Alleyoop Remember Interstate Powersport Batteries have a 1 year free replacement warranty good at any dealer that sells Interstate Batteries across the country. Alley if you need a receipt let me know Jim
