Yuasa YTX20HL-BS lead_acid_battery

Assembly & initial charge, simple enough. Handled it's first week riding around tennessee in 100 degree heat. No issues. Seems to be a great battery, time will tell.

YUASA is the gold standard of motorcycle batteries. These are OEM for most major manufacturers. After 5 years, the one in my 2020 Indian was getting a bit weak on cold mornings so I replaced it with a bargain brand Lithium LiFePO4. Big mistake. It had more than enough Cranking Amps, but was lacking in Amp Hours. So I cut my losses and returned to a good old American made, traditional AGM like the manufacturer specified. This version comes with the electrolyte pack you add yourself. It is a small extra step that ensures you get the freshest battery possible. The process is very easy, but then you need a 2 amp AGM compatible charger to charge the battery.

This worked great for my 2016 Indian motorcycle

Great battery at a great price. Don't be scared off by filling the electrolyte yourself. It is very straight forward and easy to do (talk about a fresh battery!). Also pay no attention to the fitment guide here. I'm not sure the seller has is activated at all. Everything I put in says "Does Not Fit". Look up Yuasa directly and pull the fitment guide there. This battery Fit my 2008 Harley Davidson Softail FXCWC perfectly as indicated on the Yuasa website. Took an overnight trickle to get it fully charged.

Went back to this battery that was factory In my can am four wheeler. Better that the interstate ones I was getting

Battery is junk. This is the same battery that came with my ATV when bought new and it lasted 7 years before needing replacement. This one lasted less than 6 months. I followed all directions upon receipt and nothing but disappointments.

Amazon data misrepresents our OEM YTX20L-BS as not fitting. Evidently, this is because the YTX20HL-BS features exactly the same profile, but upgrades CCA from 270 to 320. Internet AI searches confirmed that both batteries are 6 7/8" x 3 7/16" x 6 1/8" profiles. As the CAN-AM installation lays this battery on what we would usually consider its side, the 3 7/16" dimension equates to battery height, including clearance. The battery actually measures 3 3/8 in this dimension. I carefully followed the factory instructions for filling with the electrolyte and charging the battery. The only issue I had was that the fill in the different electrolyte cylinders varied widely (see attached picture). This was not a fault of the seals, which were not leaking. Despite the 250-to-320 increase in CCA, I could discern no difference in cranking speed. But our machine started instantaneously. We got an impressive 10 years of service out of the original YUASA despite extremely cold winters, so we stuck with this brand, and will expect repeat performance.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Fits my '03 HD FXST, 310 CCA. I'm activating the battery so no life is lost prior to installation. Good price compared to other retailers.

Great!! Well packaged arrived on time and is a great product
