Battery Dead on rt 2010 spyder

[peterRT]

Hi all", I have been having problems for a couple of months starting my Spyder up, and now that the weather is getting colder, the Spyder not start up on Thursday. I purchased a new battery and fitted it today. What a hard job to do, but thanks to Finless Bob on you tube and the job was explained by him in his video,

Thanks Bob
Regards Peter

I have to admit to some confusion over your reference to the weather getting colder...
It made me look to confirm that you're on the OTHER half of the Planet! :joke:

If you just replaced the battery on a 2010 you did fine. We replaced the 2011 battery less than a month ago. Ours was not showing any issues yet, so tried to be a bit proactive there. :yes:

Tender on New Battery?

I just replaced the OEM battery on my 2012 RT. I'm pleased that it lasted this long! Now I'm wondering...should I put the battery tender on even though its a brand new battery? I had it on the old battery throughout the winter, and only had one problem starting it. So my question is: should I put the battery tender on a brand new battery?

Great news on he battery. I have a question is Peter the most popular man's name in Australia? It seems that all of the Aussies that post here are named Peter.
