Took my 700R battery to Schucks yesterday, charged about 5 hrs, picked it up 100% charged, put it on the quad and the starter relay just clicks away. Hooked up the Focus battery to the quad and started right up, let it run for about 5 minutes just to get the engine juices flowing. Looks like I'll be picking up a new battery in the near future.</end quote></div>Bummer, damn Yamahahahahaha!</end quote></div>
I've never changed the battery in two of my quads and they are fine one is a 90 and one is a 04[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I've been doing some research on Yamaha and their batteries, seems most people with Raptors have battery issues, especially during the colder months. These batteries are a POS, I'm gonna trade my Raptor in on a 450R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when I had our Yamahas, they were started every single week, even if they did not move. I never had a problem. Every battery expert will tell you that not using them kills them, even if they are on a float charger. They make of the machine has no effect on battery life, just the owners not using the machines.

Good morning PSAR!

Larry, when I got a battery for my SX I got it at Batteries Plus in Everett. 1 year warranty, sealed battery, 63.00 bucks without a core charge. Check the website for a location near you. http://www.batteriesplus.com/
