Great Buy
I would definitely buy this again and I will be using this company for all my motocycle battery needs in the future. Sealed batteries at this price with free shipping is unheard of and I love the fact that all I had to do was open the box, install it, and start my bike and ride away.
Hot out the box
Perfect fit in my 71 CB450
Great Power output
Cons:
box that it was shipped in was a little beat up and one of the lead connector poles was a little damaged

Scorpion AGM battery YT12C 12v
Don't forget to trickle charge it per instructions, before initial use.
No acid leaks. No corrosion. No repainting battery box and frame every few years.
Starts instantly. Can sit for months and still start.
Much cheaper than Lithium battery. Far less sensitive to charging system than Lithium.
Cons:
Heavier than Lithium battery.
Don't know what to do with the extra time I now have since I don't have to check and add water to the battery every week.

Made all the difference
Stock battery left me stranded in parking lots and worse, after hot engine stalls at traffic lights. The new gel battery cranks like bike at idle and starts it every time! Amazing.. A life-saver.
Cons:
None, unless you enjoy the drama of a dead bike at an intersection.

a great battery
love this AGM battery for my honda 650c..as it sits, the voltage is at 13.0. since i don't have to worry about checking water or typical wet lead-acid self discharge, i can leave my seat on all the time! this AGM battery has a higher amp delivery so my honda cranks over easily. i highly reccommend this battery if you can use it. my yuasa died after about 6 months with no use...never going back to wet lead-acid again.
Cons:
don't believe there are any.

AGM BATTERY
Battery fitment was perfect. no issues with the terminals.
lots of cranking amps with the new battery. I have had it for 2 months and am very happy with it. Let's see if it holds a charge through the winter.
Cons:
weight was about a 1-2 lbs more than the YUASA it replaced. no big deal.

bought this battery online as I had heard other people mention it on the forums as a great upgrade. decided to try it...hopefully it lasts better than a standard battery...if it doesn't, it is still priced better than I can get a standard battery locally.
Great product so far.....Bike is not on the road yet, so it is not being used daily. The power this battery has is amazing....instantly the bike spun over much better than it ever has in the 15 years I have had it. Great price also!!!!

★★★★☆
Why did I wait so long
Time will tell. I'll have to see how well it sits on the battery tender over the winter. If it fairs as poorly as the previous battery, then I got a great battery for just as short a time frame for more money, and didn't make a smart choice. It's nice to not need to watch for low water levels, but I don't know if I need to do anything else differently while it sits. "Maintanence" instructions of this sort would be helpful.
This battery came good to go. I plugged it in and it started the bike up quicker than in a long time. It fit right in the box without need for spacers.
Cons:
Heavy. It seems to weigh (I didn't throw it on a scale) 25% or more more than the lead acid battery I was using.

Best bike upgrade for older bike
Trickle charged it before stated using it. High beams no longer flicker when engine is not on, yay!
More CCA than old flooded battery. No more checking fluid levels/breather tubes for junk buildup. Charges like a champ and cranks over every time.
Cons:
Costs money? About the same weight as a flooded cell, but that\'s expected.

Great Battery
Stop reading and just BUY IT!!! You wont regret it.
This is my first AGM battery and I will never go back. The bike cranks faster than flooded, and it sits with no loss. For the price it cant be beat!
Cons:
The bike almost cranks too fast. With the old battery it would crank for 3-4 sec and start. Now it cranks so fast it starts in half the time. Really cool, but it kind of sputters to life. I think the compression is higher due to the CRAZY increase in cranking speed. I seems like its starting before the proper fuel air mixture is in the cylinders. I will be more than happy to live with this "problem." :-)

No more acid spills
I live in a climate where the motorcycle goes away for the winter. Batteries seem to die in the spring. I hope the glass mat technology makes this a thing of the past.
I feel the sealed battery technology makes my life easier. The batteries CCA turned over my 74 CL350 like it was new. Cost was fair.

Terrific as always.
I make sure I keep my AGM's on a conditioner when I park in the garage, and I never worry about them. They always work, and last far longer than wet cells.
I don't know how many batteries I've bought from BatteryStuff, but just like always, this YT122C Adventure Power works great. I've been using AGM batteries from BatteryStuff for all my motorcycle restorations. High reliability. Great cranking power. No acid splash. No worries. They do the job better than OEM wets. From BatteryStuff they cost less than wet batteries from any local supplier.
Cons:
Can't think of a thing.

Fantastic Battery
This is the best review I have ever placed on any site. The most I have ever said was Thank you if I got what I paid for or I would tell them what they don't want to here. I trusted you after reviewing your products. I received more than I expected and now will be your customer for life.
I was amazed the power this battery holds. I received the battery from the postal service put it in my bike that minute. I started the bike up faster than it ever started. The cranking power was shocking. I have just became a customer for life. I will be ordering my battery for my other bike as soon as it needs it. Price is a bargain, quality top notch and fit like a glove. I'm saying this as all bikers know. Getting stuck with a crappy battery on the road. This will not let you down. Thank you

I just got it recently and its now on a charger. My maintainer charger says it already has more than 80% charged. I look forward to not having to worry about acid level when its on a trickle type charger. It means that it is ready when I'm ready to ride.

This battery lasted about over one year but less than 18 months.
This is the 2nd time I have bought this battery. It fits perfectly in my 1975 Honda 400-4 , which is hard to find a battery for that fits . I was hopping for a longer life out of an AGM battery but motorcycle batteries are known to be short lived. Yes I would buy again unless I thought there was a truly better one available.

YT12C 180 CCA AGM
As usual the battery arrived in short time, charged up perfectly and seems to be working well and cranks the starter rapidly! Using in an old Japanese motorcycle (Honda CL-450). Have purchased numerous Scorpion AGM batteries over the years all have been great, thank you. Did notice the positive and negative battery terminals are a little bit smaller in overall size. Hope they will be as durable as the older style. Thanks for offering some great batteries at reasonable prices. Rob from CT.

Top Quality, Endurance, Life time
Installed first AGM - YT12C in June 2012. Fully operational until recent decrease in full charge potential. Possibly due to lack of use and charging. But hey, 7 years on a battery is rare. Still can use as emergency backup, just a little weak on cold first start. Expect same from new.

Very Reliable and Long Lasting Battery
Excellent value.
The Scorpion 12v 180 CCA Sealed AGM Motorcycle Battery is highly recommended and BatteryStuff.com is a great website.
This has been a great battery for my 450cc Honda Rebel going on 5 years! I purchased the battery in 2012 and have used it almost continuously, except during December-February each year when it is off-motorcycle on trickle charge as directed by the BatteryStuff.com website. I keep my motorcycle in tune so it starts quickly to avoid over-draining the battery.
Highly recommended if the user pays attention to the battery and motorcycle.
Cons:
None really except that it is not ultra light-weight like Li batteries but for less than 1/2 the price this is not an issue.
