Ballistic battery

b1pig · 02-04-2013, 11:43 AM

Anyone have or used one?

I've got to replace the battery in Lori's GZ250 this spring... Last time i priced the "correct" battery for her bike it was over $100. The Ballistic battery is listed around $85 if i remember correctly.

if its decent enough, i might get the dough and buy one for my ZX7, too. ($160-ish on that one)

I replaced one on the Vulcan at Batteries Plus for under 50 bucks.

I had to replace the battery in my V-Star 650 due to a defective maintainer. I went with a TMS Gel Cell off of Ebay. Works great. You can get one for the GZ 250 here.

$20 for a gel battery? That seems unreal. Does it still work? What's the warranty?
I think I'm going to buy one of those for a jetski I have.

The one for my V-Star has been in there a year now without problems. I don't rightfully know the warranty but at $37.95 for my bike I really don't care if I have to replace it every two years. lol
