Hey everyone,
1st off if your here thank you for my SOS thread. I just bought a 2015 typhoon(Its on powerrideoutlet) Back in March, Every thing Has Run Great up until a few weeks ago. Just for some info I did change the CDI to a High performance rancing CDI(No ReV Lim,Also replaced the coin and spark plug' Runs great other thn as I said The past few weeks The battery will not Hold a Charge, Which I know they send crappy Batteries out from these type places, When I 1st got my scoot I could press the button and she would start right up! NO ISSUE! Now It still starts but it turns over slowly a few times before starting up. I have charge it overnight on a trickle charger and It cranks RIGHT UP and when I go to the store after riding it 10min or so it will also then crank right Up. But after taking the charger OFF and leaving it sitting a day or 2 It reverts back to the issue above. I dont have a Volt meter to test the Battery But I am assuming since I charge it then take the charger off hours later its back to having a hard time starting(turning over to crank).
MY Lights and all are fine and Bright as can be when its running. IS it safe in you guys who are more experienced to say It is In fact a DUD battery from PRO. I purchased a 150cc pro eagle from them year before and I had it almost a YEAR with the battery they sent me and no issues..
Can you guys PLEASE recommend a Good Battery to me? again Its a 150CC GY6 and I have a High performance CDI in it(not the well known orange racing kind u see, but a different kind)
I was Looking at a few batteries on AMAZON 1 is A
'YTX7A-BS GEL 12V 6AH Battery for Star 50cc Moped Scooter - Mighty Max Battery brand' Looks pretty good. 'YTX7A-BS GEL is a 12V 6AH 105 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) GEL (Maintenance Free) Battery'
What do you guys think?
Then the Other is 'YTX9-BS Battery Replacement for ATV KYMCO MXU150 150CC All Years - Mighty Max Battery brand' It has "YTX9-BS is a 12V 8AH 135 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)" I was thinking the xtra 8AH may give it better or more to it?
Are either one of these worth getting for a 150cc GY6 scooter? If their is another brand that is better please PLEASE let me know your thoughts, Btw Let me know if you think it is indeed a Bad BAT.
Lastly I forgot about this other Battery I ran across, What do you think>? They can all be seen on amazon. 'YTX7A-BS High Performance Power Sports Battery' Thanks Big time!

Yea I was about to buy one i found on Amazon for $10 bucks, Then My buddy came over and Tested and its a bad crappy Chinese Battery (dud) Not holding charge like it should. Like I said It does down a LOT after taking the trickel charger off after being on all night, Then not riding it and letting it sit, It should hold the charge I gave it the Night before but it doesnt. The Bat Volts when tested were not good at all from what my buddy said, he did some other Test and said everything else is fine according to the meter. I plan on going ahead and buying a Meter off amazon whn I buy a New Battery..
TIPS ON WHICH BATTERY IS THE BEST?? WIll the one below be fine? It has great reviews for scooters
Are the ones I posted worth buying? Im really thinking about the YTX7A-BS GEL 12V 6AH Battery..

It was a Bad battery. I just got my new one in from Amazon yesterday
I got the " YTX7A-BS High Performance Power Sports Battery" By Chromebattery , Soon as I put it in it cranked right up like new just like when I bought it! And the price was great! $30 Its got tons and tons of great reviews, Many ppl said it works better thn the one they bought from Auto Zone. I went ahead and bought my own Volt meter to and found a good enough one for $10bucks. Works great as well , Tested the new bat out the pack and it was fully charged reading over 13v, while the 1 going bad was right below 12.
Im gonna get one of the 12V Gel Batterys for my other scoot I dnt ride much anymore, I have had it 3 years and its been running on the same battery that came with it ever since!!
