What is a good battery to replace the original battery with ? finally got the old one out . they sure did not leave any xtra room . I would like to find a battery with the same power but maybe alittle smaller case. Thanks to everyone who helped with telling me how too get it out.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The new lithium batteries are nice but be sure to understand how to use them with chargers and tenders or you may destroy the battery. They weigh just a few pounds. http://www.amazon.com/Mirai-Lightweight-Lithium-Battery-MLP-2712-C3/dp/B00C3LFOBY

MotoBatt.... Odyssey PC680
I have used the yellow MotoBatt on an RT in the past with good results but I just replaced the oem battery on my 2012 Ltd with a MotoBatt and it seems to have less cranking power than the battery I replaced!
I have a bunch of LEDs and accessories that put a load on the battery so now I am considering replacing the MotoBatt with an Odyssey PC680 as I know they have a great reputation and are known for powerful cranking capacity for startups.

Honestly; if you got good service from the OEM, why not just stay with the known commodity? :dontknow:
Several folks in here have tried the Lithium batteries; their results seem a bit... unusual. :shocked:
Check with Rattigan_Roger or Bluestratos about their experiences.
Happy shopping! :thumbup:

And if you have a problem with the battery its best if it was purchased locally, rather than by mail. I ordered a 2 yr warranty Motoblat once for a bike and leaked but turned out the cost to send it back exceeded its worth.
I stay with Yuasa or Od Pc680...whichever is avail.

it caused some damage, but not alot of visible damage. motobatt sent me all new parts. left rear panel, and left pass. peg mount. i do give them alot of credit for doing that, but it never should have happened in the first place.
leakage is caused by overfilling at the factory, to the point where the internal '' sponge '' can't hold all of it, then, out it comes. since pre- 13 bikes's batteries lay on their side, it only makes the problem worse, when there is a leak. class dismissed.:roflblack:

Look into Interstate Batteries. They have a direct replacement. Just installed one into my 2010 RTS. I have there batteries in all all my vehicles (Truck, SUV, 3 tractors and and a lawn mower). All diesel except SUV. Batteries last as advertised or longer.

This will be the summer I replace the OEM in my 2010. No hints of bad stuff yet, but I feel that I will soon be, or already am, on borrowed time.
I will be going with the OEM.

I have the OEM replacement here waiting for the 35270 mi oil change on our 2010 RT, I will implant it just to be done with it. Original one doesn't hold quite the volts it did when new after sitting so I am not having good feelings about it and another HOT summer.

You have to remove the battery access panel under the seat, and usually the left side tupperware.Is there an easier way to get the battery out of the Spyder than taking off all the tupperware? I think my battery froze last week when the temps hit 10 or 12 below and I did not have it hooked up to a tender.ray:
