Default Battery gave up today

I'm only on my 3rd since 2002, two Honda and one Hellfrauds in between (that one lasted 2 years and terminals in wrong place).
I did some research and I believe this will work? https://www.gsfcarparts.com/za042669

Looks right

Yuasa good on warranty.

As you look at the battery (when you collect), terminals edge close to you, +ve needs to be on the right

I have probably got through more than that, I have them both on ctek these days

Good to hear. I have always had battery drain with the Honda batteries, and I don't have the Palmer alarm. I'll let you all know if I get the battery depletion after 2 weeks of not driving, Also, you need to reserve your item in advance (no payment) to get the best price @ GSF. Saved me £ 20, so I paid £ 71.50 for the battery. Hellfrauds next door (in Banbury) wanted £ 90 for the same battery.

I have been running a NAPA one for about 8-9 years now on mine I keep it on a tender in the winter. I know you likely do not have NAPA over there. The Yausa stuff is very good though and are pretty popular with the motorcycle crowd.
