    Yamaha Fazer 1500cc Battery Upgrade Options ?

    Hi fellow xBHP,

    I have a FAZER 150cc bike which I brought from Mumbai around 2 years back. I went out of India for 2 months and since I do not have any brother's to keep the bike running, it was kept unattended till that period.. My bad.

    So when I come back and ignite I see my bike doesn't start at all. I called the local Battery walla and he said my Battery is totally dead.. I know it is solely due to my negligence.
    Anyhow as it is I was already planning to get my self a more powerful battery since the current Yamaha Stocked battery is very dull I figured. The reason is because I really hated the old horn so I replaced it with BOSCH horn but then at times the horn has a crippling sound from dim to high kind of fluctuating but not constant noise, I have tested its not the horn that is bad but probably the insufficient power output from the battery meaning the battery itself.

    Coming to the point so I'm want to know the following:

    *Which battery you suggest? as well as the brand name and AH ?

    *How much Warranty and personal experience will also be encouraged !

    *I read that no matter if I put a high AH Batter link 9AH but still it all depends on the capability on the coil to charge the battery. So if thats the case with regard to FAZER up-to what extend will it give me optimum satisfaction and efficiency ?

    Note: Mostly I would be at some point do some modifications with the headlight with (osram nightbreaker) and add an LED tail light with these some light sucking modifications. So please bear this in mind.

    regards.

      Go for Amaron 9Amh battery. Its a maintenance free battery with 1yr of replacement warranty + 2yrs pro rata.
      I suggest you get your battery charged before leaving the bike idle for long & also every year before winter hits.

        can you specify the exact Amaron 8Ah model : as well as what does pro rata mean ?

        what can you say about this ^

            @ coder,
            Sorry i forgot the exact name of battery but its 9 Amh for sure.
            And yes coil have to charge the battery.. But battery should hold the charge too, that too for long enough..
            And you'll be using nightbrakers + extra horn etc so you may also have to consider coil re-winding
            EDIT: pro rata means you'll be getting some heavy discounts against the purchase of another amaron battery, if your original battery dies.

              ok I did a search and found this model : AP-ATX5L for this bike, and its just 5 AH hard to digest whether it will support with my requirements. or Should I go with AP-ATX9 which is 9AH ?

              *Please someone who has tried it on their bike please advice and also can it fit on the bike when it had AMCO 5AH battery. Wouldn't the size be more of 4AH more or something ?

              *Any cons of putting a high AH battery, I mean will it harm the engine ?

              *Any news whether NightBreakers work on 5AH as well without much issues.

              thanks Honda_CBF

                I replaced 35w bulb in my friends Fazer with a 55/60 and his 15 month old minda battery died with in a month and my friend is blaming me for this but I blame this on his slow riding which couldn't charge the battery well.
                Night breakers are also rated 55/60, keep rpms high enough to charge the battery and I don't think there would be any issues.

                  consuming that much of electricity will surely kill the battery under normal riding conditions.. Doing 5k rpm+ is not at all possible, that's why RE-WINDING is needed.
                  @ coder,
                  there's no problem to engine etc if used more than recommended Amh battery (ya, more amh comes in bigger size). The only issue will be insufficient charging of battery (if re-winding is not performed)
                  btw, I'm using 9Amh battery instead of recommended 5Amh since last 2yrs in my scoot without any modds.

                    minda battery .. I suppose its a 5AH battery maybe thats why. By keeping the RPMS high you mean just for once when we start the bike or keep it till like 5000/6000RPM always, well if I will do that it would be totally a waste for me on my pocket since that much petrol it would take .. ?

                    *I'm sorry what is " RE-WINDING is needed " and what is " coil rewinding " ?
                    -Is it when we start the bike in the morning and let it warm-up before ridding ?

                    *Any good shops in Mumbai where I can add the Headlight mod and Ameron Battery !

                    *A little off topic question how to enable Hazard Sign like we find in cars on a bike ?

                      ^^ No no I meant with coil rewinding.. It's done to increase the current output of bike.
                      Search for the term in xbhp it self there's lots of info regarding it.
                      -And trying to charge a battery by reving is definatly not a good idea.
                      - I guess only mumbai guys can advice you regarding a good place for this mod.
                      - ya hazard light can be installed on bike, actually it needs switch & connection via master unit.

                        Sandeep , it would be very difficult to convince the cops that you were speeding just to keep your battery charged .

                        I think you meant mAh (milli amphere hour) by which smaller batteries like camera/cellphone/AA-Nimh are rated . Our bike batteries are rated in larger multiple of the unit - Ah ( amphere hour ) . Never mind .. we got what you meant though .

                            By high RPMS I didn't mean 5k+ all the time. My friend rides "FAZER" real slow and at constant speed of 40 all the time and how many revs in 5th gear are required for a speed of 40kmph and how many times you can speed 40kmph in traffic?.
                            I used his bike for over a week and Now the battery is so dead that the bike has to be push started sometimes. But once the bike starts there is no problem with electricals, even that 55/60 glows to the fullest at 3.5k rpm. My multimeter is not functioning so couldn't test how much current is coming from that RR.
                            Piece of advice - use a multimeter to check the amperage at various RPMS and also your riding style to decide whether to go for a 55w bulb or not.

                              Get the Amaron Pro Biker 5 Amps, if you run stock electrical. I you have anything extra like a HID etc, go for 7Amps. 9 Amps is a kind of too much.

                              Amaron has the best warranty 2+2 and warranty policy as well.
