Jasper, MO | My bike was built 11/20/2007. I bought it in May of 2008. The original battery died a month later. The replacement is still going strong. I do put a float charger on it when the riding slows down.

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | March '08 - still on original battery. Never ANY problem. NEVER owned a bike in 54 years that had a battery last longer than THREE years. I consider my Vision Battery just another part of the MIRACLE that is a VISION !!!
I ride YEAR-ROUND. Bike never sits for more than 2 weeks. I do use a 'tender' that is plugged in whenever I know the bike might sit for a week or more.
My plan is to replace the original battery - AT 6 YEARS (coming spring) - AMAZING !

Key to long battery life is riding year round. |

| Nope, I R2 mine this year as a preventative measure. You don't want to get stranded with a dead battery. |

Buford, GA United States | I replaced mine when it was a little more than 4 years old. No problems but I never had one on any other motorcycle last more than 3 years and I thought it would be easier to change out in my garage than on the road. |

Columbia Co, WI | Off the 'show room floor' May of '08. Still using the original battery, but, it is showing signs of wearing out. I now have a trickle charger in service when the temps drop into the 40's and 30's. I have no issues starting, but the voltage was dropping lower on a cold morning start up. I am researching batteries again. Now it is to the point I want to see how long it will last. And hoping I don't get stranded. |
