The International CBX Owners Association

Ok, the 82 CBX has been sitting now since '04 and know it is time to get it ready for the road again. First off is a new battery and get it started, hoping that I don't have to take the carbs off, :| . Since there is a Batteries Plus down the street from work, I have checked their website for something for the X. They list a couple of different ones and was wondering if anyone has had any luck with their batteries and which would be best. Or is there some other opinions out there.

Could you list the ones you're interested in, also listing the CCAs? They should have 300 or more. I have a Scorpion and a Westco in mine and the Westco is in its 6th year...thanks to a Deltran Battery Tender Jr. I assume.

Rick I recently bought a Diehard Gold AGM battery from Sears and it cranks hard and my bike starts instantly. I have not had it for long so I can't comment on longevity, and Sears is coy about it's CCA, but so far so good. $95 as I recall.

300 CCA or more? Ok that narrows the choices they have down 3. Here are the links;

Looks like the permaseal one has the most CCA and is reasonably priced.

Either of the top two listed. The have some heft to them (17-18 pounds) and are sealed. The bottom one is open and weighs less than 13 pounds. Keep the one you choose in great shape with a battery tender...and go riding!

Yea, battery tender is a good idea this time. I never used one and ended up replacing the battery every year or so. Not this time around.

This is the cheapest price I've found

Just picked up the battery today;

Since the website didn't specify, I got the store to honor the web price, $80.99 sale. I also picked up a Battery Tender Jr and got it also for the web price of $26.99. Buying them together got me another $10 off for the package. Guess they want you to keep the battery charged when not riding,

Look over to my other thread for how I am doing getting it ready for the road, "Steps for starting after storage";

Hopefully I will have no surprises.
