    Default 2012 RT Leaking Battery

    Hi all. I purchased a sealed battery from batteries plus to replace the original battery that was at least 5 years old and running at or below 12V in my 2012 RT SE5 However that battery started leaking the next day. They gave me a replacement Duracell Platinum and it seems to be working great. It cost less than the BRP battery. Has anyone used or has this battery in their spyder now. If so, is it a good battery to have in lieu of the OEM battery?

    And for those who have never changed a battery on a 2012 and prior RT
    Here is an overview of my battery removal (my first time doing it myself) Thanks again.

    Stop talking about it! My bike will hear you and then I'll have to change the battery in mine, too!

    Default Replacing 2012 battery

    What size battery did you buy?
    Did you have a choice between
    a gel or conventional acid battery?

    Thanks,
    Bill

    I think I am on the verge of replacing mine as well. I was also looking at the Batteries + as a source for a replacement. They show 3 batteries as replacements for my 2011 but none of them are "Platinum".
