[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1414815, member: 19880"] You have to be careful about some of these. In a lot of cases, you do a lookup (Amazon or eBay especially) and they use the Yuasa name but are actually selling a generic equivalent. I just looked at the Partzilla link provided by the OP and noticed that it says that the manufacturer is Yamaha - no reference to Yuasa anywhere on the page and no CCA (cold cranking amps) or ampere-hour (capacity) specification. (Not sure if it is a "Yuasa equivalent" or genuine.) I am pretty sure that Yamaha doesn't make batteries (or oil, lubricants, sealants, etc.). CCA is a "bragging rights" specification that a lot of manufacturers lie about! I wouldn't count on it to compare one manufacturer to another but should be reasonable to compare two similar products of a single manufacturer. [/QUOTE]
