68.107.139.20
I am going to go with a gelcell as it also has 50% more cca's. Battery only meas. 1.5 volt when I 1st found out it was dead. I've had it on the charger now for 18hrs and only at 11.1v. I'll just get another one now. New 1 will have 350cca versus 220. I'm still pissed I put the bike on parking lamp mode and ruined this battery. Thanks for the info
