Yuasa YB 16-B on older 907 and a cheap unit on the newer 907. I disconnect the battery every time I think do not use the bikes for more than 2/3 weeks. I have also an Accumate charger which I never used keeping on the bikes. No matter, the next batteries will be the Odyssey. Ciao |

Hi Gert and Paso Fans, I use a Deka ETX16 with a CCA of 275. It is a maintenance free seal acid battery with abscorbed mat technology – what ever that means. It has the positive terminal on the correct side. It works well all through winter with out needing a re-charge or top up. Heaps of cranking power. Not that my 907 needs much cranking, it seems to start like clock work. I went to a sealed battery, because I was finding small white stains on the swing arm and back wheel (bare aluminium). In the end I found there was a slight dribble coming from the battery breather hose. Must have come out when cranked right over on those fast left handers! - probably more like too much fluid. So I would get my rags and polish them out. But I thought I would rather be riding it instead! Anyway the battery was old and weak so I replaced with the above mention one and haven`t looked back. |

When I need a battery for my 907 I take it to my local Harley dealer and let them match it up with an AGM for a... Softail? I'm not sure what mopdel it is, but it's an AGM and costs about $70 (2-3 years ago). Exact same size as the stock battery. Much more robust than a flooded acid type battery. I still manage to kill them pretty regularly though (every couple years) mainly because I don't ride the bike much and I'm not the best at preventative maintanence... |

I use an Optimate on my bike(s) alternating them every couple of days ( no pun intended! ) - which keeps them in near perfect condition. The clock and the alarm drain the 907's battery after about 10 days and once drained (dead) most batteries will not fully recover. My other bike is a Triumph Sprint 955 and last up to 6 weeks without a charge !! British electrics!!
