Title: Battery
Post by: Bush Hog on September 25, 2005, 03:20:35 PM
Who makes a good battery for four wheelers?  I have two Bombardiers that are both less than a year old.  I had to replace one already, and this morning, the other one is so bad, it won't even take a charge.

Cutngrs had to replace his in the ds650, I also have a ds650. Unfortunately Bombardier is a odd size battery, and you will probably have to get it at a dealer :'(, Cut paid 95.00 for his!.
   Damned Canadians anyway, Good luck and if you find something post where you found it !!!!!

Try interstate. If there is a dealer/warehouse near you they might have it.

Yeah, I checked locally for a battery before I bought one at the dealer last time.  You're right, it's an oddball size, they have them in all sizes except that one.  I had to buy from the dealer too.  I'm just worried it will be a pos too.

Sport66 is right. If you keep a floating charger (which you can get for about $5 on sale at Harbor Freight Tools www.harborfreight.com ) a cheap battery will last just as long. The biggest problem with Wet-cell batteries in an ATV or bike is all the rattle'n that causes them to die prematurely. Dry-cell is the way to go if you got the bucks for it.
