gearshift Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I think that might be the issue. The positive side was facing the tail of the bike. I will try that when I get home. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy fix, and no permanent damage done. Check this thread for details: https://fj-09.org/thread/6010/battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavelet Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 On 11/3/2017 at 8:21 PM, hawk said: ytz14s does fit perfectly (Sorry for de-zombifying the thread, but this thread has the only mention of this particular Yuasa battery model that I could find) Anyone know if it will specifically fit a 2017 Euro-spec Tracer 900? FWIW, the stock battery for it is the YTZ10S, so probably yes, but I'd rather be sure. My service shop, which I'm overall very happy with, insisted on using some French battery brand (BS Battery) I'd never heard of previously when it was time for the bike's first replacement. It was cheap, but the battery only lasted 2 months, and the measured voltage got as low as 2.7V . The shop replaced it without issue, but 8 months later the replacement is completely dead again -- so much so that the bike can't even be started from a jump-starter device (engine runs fine, but as soon as the jump-starter is disconnected, it dies). So, Yuasa OEM only for me -- everyone I know who has one has theirs last for 5+ years. I figure while I'm doing that, if there's physical room, I might as well go for a slightly larger-capacity battery for a bit of a safety margin -- prices here are very similar for the YTZ10S and YTZ14S.

Supporting Member Heli ATP Posted April 6, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted April 6, 2021 I have a WinPlus Car Jump Start & Portable Power Bank model AC56388 and wonder if it is compatible with our bikes battery? It's a rechargeable lithium ion with a rated capacity of 8000mAh (3.7V) / 2700mAh (12V). Start current is listed at 200A - 350A. Handy size for tail bag and has a couple of USB ports for charging phones etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
