China batteries?

cowboymike · 07-18-2020, 10:14 AM

Bought a couple 150cc utility Coolster a few months back. One we didn't start for approximately 3 weeks and the battery was dead. Had a 10.5v reading. Any suggestions as to a quality replacement? And/or have anyone else have similar issues?

if you have a remote key fob.. it drains the battery... if you are going to leave for awhile... disconnect the battery... like for winter ( depends where you are ) .. take the battery inside and charge once in awhile

Thanks. ATV was purchased at a reputable local distributor/service ownership. Battery fully charged when purchased. These ATV's are keep on some recreational property 50 miles away. My Kawasaki klf300a (1986) battery works just fine even in winter deer season months. I.e. Kawasaki battery is approximately 1 1/2 years since new.
Anyway just wondering if replacement recommendations to a USA battery would alleviate future issues.
