Glass Mat Technology Battery

[Esstee 13]

Just wondering if anyone has used one of these batteries and if so what are they like. My battery in the 1300 is about to turn its toes up and i will need to buy a new one. Or has anyone got a better battery to recommend. Thanks...Tony

Thanks Shiney. I guess that answers all of my questions. Glass Mat is the way to go.

The Glass mat battery will still work after you put a bullet through it. Bike might be buggered tho

I just bit the bullet and ordered my new Gel battery from All Purpose Batteries. Bloody good value @ $95 delivered. My local Autobarn and Superthief Auto wanted around $250 for a century battery. Figured i could almost get 3 gel batteries for that.

Its always good to hear that info passed along to the forum is of some help to others

The one I got from All Purpose is still going strong and I’m sure you’ll also find the battery to be a bloody good product Esstee

Damn you Brock. I just took a 12 gauge to mine and now I trying to find all the bits to put it back together again. Doh. 
Last time I take your advice.

I said "COULD" put a bullet thru it, not "Should"
