  • Acid OR Maintenance free battery....for R15

    hi guys, ive been having real battery problem on my r15 since after installing the 35W HID projectors...the battery runs out of juice in just an hour....and the engine and FI shuts down immediately and then i have to push start the bike and let the battery charge.. this is pretty awkward every time when i get caught in this situations.. especially long travel , so my questions are
    1. do i have the option of upgrading the battery from 3.5amps[stock] to 9amps...if i do will it make some electrical problems like overloading and fusing....or wire meltdown, does the bike has the power to charge an 9amps battery?..and suggest me which one to go for,the acid or maintenance free batteries... what is the difference apart from maintaining,which one has greater advantages like quick charging,delivering long life,long power supply which one is robust... not worried abt the pricing,suggest me a good brand..thank u guys...

          On highways at high rpms , yes. But city rides, NO.

            anyway guys installed 9amp battery with a minor mods on the holder...but as of now haven't faced any major prob except those engine warning light comes on and goes off when i start the bike...i mean not the initial self check its like a squeaky start although the engine starts...hope the batt gets recharged during day rides,...
