Yamaha Jim Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Hi folks and happy new year! The battery on my son's RX-1 is not holding a full charge and I don't want to risk a dead battery on a trip. I am thinking about switching to one of the new lithium ion gel batteries but don't want to experiment with batteries on a vacation. What do you reccommend for a new battery? What has been tested in the cold Quebec climate on saddlebag trips? Thanks!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionjack Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I do not have one but someone on TY is using an EARTHX ETX36C in very cold conditions with no problems. quite expensive. http://earthxmotorsports.com/products-page/snowmobile/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamaha Jim Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Thanks, I just visited the EarthX website. $349 for the battery but it packs a punch with 405 CCA plus a two year non-prorated warranty. Battery has built in electronics to prevent over discharging and over-charging the battery. Looks like it is wortha try. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
