This helped. At first thought I would have to poor one at a time but this is super easy. It’s great that it’s quick and almost idiot proof.

Awesome video, clear and concise. Been riding since 2017 and never needed to replace a battery on a bike until now.

I love that you are activating the battery when you get it, thus its as fresh as possible...not sitting in a shelf for months.

Thank you Bryan, things I didn't use last time I acid-packed: "Time and Patience" - - I'm getting a similar battery soon.
Peace in Christ. 🧑🏻JB

Thanks, takes time to proper prep the battery . Here a battery seller (Bali, Indonesia) filled up(1 minute, piercing holes) and (over)charged with a car battery in 5 min only, new (made in China, brand Jaguar ?!)battery but bad cranking (not full capacity) ...Now I bought a Yuasa one(YTX 9-BS) and filled up and charged (with electronic trickle tender charger, max 2 Amps) myself. China battery 30$, Yuasa 40$, not much more than the china one.

Do you have to charge the battery before putting it on the bike? What if you don't have a charger

[feez]

I was trying to read the instructions that came with my new battery but the language was SO BAD that I ended up here.
No problem now!
I work with people from all around the globe and we struggle with language sometimes but this battery thing was BADDDD!!

I don’t have the alligator clips to hook up directly to the battery, but I do have it hardwired to my battery thru my motorcycle. Can I just install the battery and charge it through my bikes connection
