Re: 512TR Battery Recommendation?

Yes, the tender adds weight and the potential for a surprise Car-BQ at anytime.

Disconnecting is safe, cheap and lightweight.

Pick the option that makes you smile.

A decent (builtin) tender has kept the crappy Interstate working for more than 10 years.  Forget the battery ..  Although the tender adds a few pounds!

I would go for a lighter Braile AGM or a super light Lithium unit. Battery tech has increased rapidly in the last few years.

I always am looking for ways to shed weight and modern batteries are an easy way to drop 20-25lbs.

Agree with SJ on selecting the proper tender but I have reverted back to just disconnecting the batteries for long term storage.

I am switching to a 1.5 lbs (yes, one point five) battery for my motorcycle.

Good luck!

Anything by East Penn Manuf (they make Deka) is quality.

Get an AGM then make sure your charger has the higher voltage AGM mode. Like a CTEK:


Tho I have an Optima red top in my 512TR.

I heard that Optima quality is not what it used to be.  A friend recommended NAPA -- supposedly made by Deka east of the Mississippi (where I am) and Allied Signal to the west, but I haven't even checked whether they make on in my size (whatever that may be).

Thanks,
Larry

P.S.  Temperature sender issue apparently now resolved; will be subject of a separate post.  (Thank you, everyone who weighed in on that problem, especially Clyde.)
