Today my 9 year old Yuasa battery went to meet it's maker. The original 2005 Yuasa lasted 11 years. Needless to say, my third battery will also be a Yuasa

Expect similar results. They are OEM for a reason.

Well, it seems I was full of hooy. Brand new battery, still wouldn't fire a lick. Discovered fuel pump wasn't priming. Jiggled the fuel pump relay and it started working. Removed the wires and cleaned and recrimped. Opened up relay and cleaned contacts. A little dielectric grease on the spades and she's good as new. What this adventure showed me is my 9 year old battery only had a out 30 seconds of cranking ability. I won't be running them that long anymore. The wife is getting to old to push start me
I wonder if they could have used any smaller wire for fuel pump circuit. Those are about the size of a human hair with a plastic coating
