Fuck batteries. I swear they're a scam to bleed us all dry.

Seriously no one can figure out how to make a battery that will last more than 2-3yrs?

I call bullshit

I was talking with my buddy at the Harley shop and he started his career on the East Coast at a stealer out there. He was blown away when he first came out here as they get 7-8 years out of their batteries and basically never sold anybody batteries as they'd trade their bikes off before it would need a battery. I got 3 years out of the scooter battery, 3 years out of the truck batteries, and the Jeep batteries were, you guessed it, 3 years old.

Total bullshit. They're designed to fail.

One of my old jobs was in the battery shop for SCE. We had batteries that were 40yrs old way back then.

So 2-3yrs is pure bullshit. Fuckers
