Which 12V Battery Do You Have Installed? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hammer · 07-15-2011

Went out this morning and my Duralst Gold was dead after sitting for only a month since driven last. It registered 2.8 volts, should be about 12.8 or so charged. Pulled it and took it to Autozone. Verified no good. No hassle replacement, no charge.

I bought this battery on 8/17/08 so it didn't even last 3 years. I always have a battery Tender Plus on it when not driving and over the winter too.

Just letting everyone know first hand what you may expect.
