[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1363407, member: 20946"] Considering your request about the Extreme AGM, you're going to get a replacement free, right? I'd put it in the bike and just keep an eye on it. Best way to do so: do you have a volt meter on the bike? If not, while you're replacing your battery, consider installing a volt meter. It's really simple to do, they can be bought off eBay for next to nothing (if you're content with a cheap one, if not get a Datel). Hooking them up is easy. Several "how to's" on this forum. Personally, I couldn't imagine having an FJR and not having a voltmeter. But that's just me. About the battery: the fact that it's an AGM makes it a better battery than most standard lead-acid types. However, any manufacturer can produce a dud. Thank God for warranties. It is very unlikely that your replacement battery will blow out. Extreme wouldn't be in business if they made it a habit of selling faulty batteries. Fine, it might not be as good as a more expensive battery, but then (for now at least) the price is right: hard to argue with a FREE replacement. Gary darksider #44 [/QUOTE]
