  • Importing vehicle battery is not easy as no airline accepts these kind of batteries, any cargo.
    Superbike workshops do keep them, I think the price is around 8-9 thousand rupees, still very expensive...

    And for the record, I did try push starting, dunno if I was doing anything wrong, but two people were pushing the bike, and it did not work for both 1st and 2nd gears.
    May the torque be with you..

    • Don't try first gear; due to the very high compression. 2nd and even 3rd should work but you need a decent amount of rolling speed.

            Yes, I enquired Amaron about this... seems like a good option. They could not tell me the dimensions though. If it fits in the slot, it will work fine. It retails for Rs 1266 only

              • I've tried it. It fits into the R1's battery space. Seeing as how both the Blade and the R1 share the same battery, I don't think it will be a problem. But the local Amaron dealer should be able to help you out

                    Just saw the price now. Seems too low. The one I tried, was ~2500. Will give you the exact details of the battery.

                    What issues?! You seem to be buzzing around on the Blade just fine!

                        I need you to be gifting me your R1 for me to thrash it at the tracks. So I also need you to hook me up with a track day! And since I am totally broke on having bought the Blade I need you to be paying for the trackday too.
                        You think you can do me this small favour ?
                        Thanks Mate !

                          Anytime buddy. But get in line. I already promised Sagar a free run with the R1 at Kari

                          So does that mean you don't like your Blade any more? I always knew there's a secret R1 lover inside you somewhere.. Haha..

                          Checked on Amaron's website, the battery is AP-ATX9. It's a 9 A-h battery, and costs Rs. 2455 in Bangalore. Not sure about the cost in Kolkata.

                          • Just today I saw an advertisement about Tata Green batteries.

                            What caught my eye is one line which said 'technology from Yuasa Japan'.

                            Might as well check them out. Maybe there is a match.
                            You get the point?? :D

                            • Website of tatagreen says their database is not ready yet.
                              I charged blade's battery and now its running fine....

                              Will have to be careful now...specially in slow moving hot traffic.
                              May the torque be with you..
