Funny you should ask... mine died last night and of course we are leaving today! It was about 3yrs old.

you can double the life if you get an optimate battery maintainer.

Still have the original battery in both, 8000 miles in 09 nytro and 6900 in 05 rage

I still have the original in my 08 and she is still running strong! battery maintainer and proper maintenance are a must to make any battery last.

If you don't want to buy a Battery Tender, just pull the battery out for the off season, and charge it a couple times over the summer. I have the ori battery in my 2008 Nytro, and I typically get 5-6 years on a streetbike battery.

Its $80 for an Interstate battery, just buy a new one every 3-4 years and error on the side of caution. There is no maintenance you can do on a sealed battery.

Yea I just changed mine. It was activated 08/08. Have replaced it with a new Interstate with 310cca. I have always had a battery tender on mine, and still only got 3.5 years on a Yuasa.

Just over 3 years in my 08 with completely ignoring it. I even used it to jump my crappy old subaru a couple times. No problems, knock on wood.

Changed my original battery on my 2009 with no tender, this January after our first trip. it was sluggish in the -15C weather. I knew it would not start the sled in -35C so why take the chance. Change it out every 3 years.

Still have the battery from my 05 Vector running my quad and my 08 Nytro battery is still going strong with over 8000 miles on the engine. I use a CTEK charger because of their desulphation technology.

 

[krysFly]

mine lasted three years then it wouldn't take charge. Usually they last about 5 years (at least that's my experience) anything more is a bonus.

09 nytro xtx still oem battery. No battery tender or removal in the off season. Almost 10,000 miles. Cranked slow to start this year think im gunna replace it before im out in bfe with no power

I am still running my original Yuasa battery in my 2009 Nytro with 13,000 miles on it. Always have it on a trickle charger. Never had an issue with it so far....
