Still have the original battery in Spyder #006, that would be a 2008 GS model delivered in late 2007. No drop in performance as of yet. Gets hooked up to the Optimate charger once per month during the winter, nothing special. Stored in climate controlled shop, always ridden hard and put away wet!

Have two mid 2009 RS's, one 11,000 miles, other 15,000. Original batteries, both on Battery Tender 24/7 when not riding. Ride 85% highway, all Winter,no snow.

Additional: I have never replaced a battery in any of my :spyder2:'s. Had I not bought the 2014, I was going to replace the battery on the 2010 because it was four years old and had 36,500 miles on it.

When batteries give up the ghost they tend to do it without warning. I could just see myself 250 miles from home base and the 2010 battery going out while I am on the road. Just the kind of luck I have sometimes. :roflblack: The new owner can now make that decision.

Same here, ordered in 07, just replaced all three tires 23,500 mi. I said throw in a new battery while your at it, felt like a time bomb.

Good to hear but I'd have a battery replace before any long trips , very little warning sometimes

rolling the dice

i would change it out before it leaves you stranded.

08 GS bought 11/08 replaced battery last month. It was still working, but I decided to replace it, because I'm taking a trip to the mountains in November and figured I had better go ahead and change it. I hope I get the same from the replacement battery.
