P.S. I'm just kidding! The Shorai batteries have a two-year warranty, and their self-discharge rate is 1/6 that of conventional, lead-acid batteries. Therefore, I think you made a wise purchase, even if the beautiful women are not begging to ride with you. Spud

So....in a pre-emptive strike to eliminate the possibility of the "QLink Suddenly Dead Battery Syndrome", I hit Wally World yesterday and bought the recommended (N)Everstart ES9BS battery.
After filling and following the recommended sit time/charging instructions, I got up this morning to check it before installing. Happy to report it's at the recommended 12.9! Ready to go! Poured a cup of coffee, brought up my short rolling chair and pulled off the side panel. Time to take out that smaller battery with a rubber boot I've read about here. I thought maybe that's why some of these are dying young. The assembler/dealer probably put in an under-rated, smaller, cheaper battery for selling. Loe and behold! I look....no rubber boot! The battery was in the nice and snug, all by itself. I removed it...."Hmm....looks like the one I just bought." Sure enough! Even the lines and molding markings in the casing was the same! 8O Sealed unit, no vent tube. Oh well....sticking with the 'known good and new' battery anyway.

Looks like yours was already upgraded! Oh well, I guess it's still good to have a spare one on hand.

Perhaps it's notable that both batteries say BS on them.
