It depends on the type of battery you have. If it is a lead acid type battery, the YUA1201501 Yuasa battery does a great job. It is a trickle charger which automatically shots off once the battery is fully charged. However if your current battery is completely discharged, most likely the battery will not take a charge and you need to purchase a new battery. Once you have done that. use the YUASA charger as a trickle charger to keep your battery in top shape through the winter. I have done that for my 1150 RT BMW bike.

I use the smart shot for all my batteries. Jet ski, lawn mower, boats and auto. Had a jet ski battery last six years......

i like the charger i have. the Yuasa smart shot. it saved the battery in my porsche. it charges the battery in my motorcycle just fine, but also the cars. if the battery has been sitting drained for a long time, it is most likely donesy, however.

The best charger is seen here: http://www.foursevens.com/products/UBC. The best battery is something you would need to contact the company about. They will tell you which one you need. I bought this charger and the battery that they told me to get and I have been very pleased with everything. Totally worth it.

Oops, I have 3 different type. You are correct our takes a fat barrel type of battery. Quick I still don't have a charger for but still be looking into one.

Mr. BuddyOlPal I did a little research on your question, first the term "dry cell" is a little misleading for this battery, it is actually a AGM design Battery, which means it is a glass mat and not a true "dry cell"...that term, belongs to batteries like AA AAA C D Batteries. According to the battery manufacturer... Any conventional battery charger or alternator up to 15.2 volts and 25 amps will be sufficient....However I would not use a charger that high for that type of battery, I would use a lower amperage, say something from 2 -6 amps would be better.....The smart charger does not supply that kind of current, it is only for a charged battery and to maintain it while it is not being used....I installed a AGM battery as a second battery in my 4 wheeler and this battery maintainer worked really well for that purpose, so if your battery is ok and charged, then it should work just fine...

Yes better battery charger for sure, any upgrade will do. Stock charger charges in approximate 8 hrs. Extra batt would be a good idea as well. I have RPM bumpers for better crash tolerance. Other than that a solid truck out of the box!

You can charge it to full with a normal lead acid battery charger, but do not keep it charging. Unplug it after the charger indicates full. The trickle/maintenance charge feature will damage the battery. But the good new is you probably won't need a charger at all. For the past six months I have only been riding (or cranking and letting it idle) once every two or three weeks and the battery stays charged. But if you can't live without a trickle charger, they offer a charger specialized for this type of battery, that won't cause any damage.

Yes I have the same battery in my 150cc works fantastic! I also recommend a battery tender.

I keep mine on a Schumacher Smart Charger 24/7 and its been sitting for over a year on that charger. Used it as a battery backup system in a simulated "black out" scenario last weekend. Ran 5 light bulbs, a HAM radio, and charged electronic devices off of it. Pulled very little voltage and after running it for hours the monitor I use still showed an full charge. All that to say, the battery seems to be holding at peak efficiency.

I have a La-Crosse BC-1000 which I have used to it's fullest potential. It's a very intelligent and powerful charger allowing you to charge at different amperages (higher for quicker re-charge and lower for a better recharge) as well as being able to completely de-charge to eliminate battery memory issues that don't allow a full charge. You can charge AA's and AAA's at the same time and each of the 4 positions is independent of the other. In other words, when one cell is charged, it will discontinue charging the fully charged one and continue charging with the rest and so on. There a little spendy, but to get the most out of your batteries for years of use, it's a great charger.

My battery came charged but not fully charged. It would start the bike BUT when hooked to my charger the "red" light did NOT immediately go green. I charged it overnight and haven't had a problem since.

I have this battery and I use the Traxxas 2933 6amp lipo charger. Easy to use and charges battery in about 45 minutes.

Hello, I have the Duracell 15 minute charger that charges AA & AAA batteries, and that's the highest powered charger currently available that I know of for Duracell itself. The power output for the 15 minute Duracell charger I have is 1.2 volts for AA & AAA batteries and 8.3 Amps(current) max for AA and 3.5 Amps(current) for AAA, so if your charger outputs more for voltage or current for AA & AAA I would recommend not using it for those type of batteries, and as far as other batteries like C,D,9 Volt, etc. I can't recommend since my charger doesn't charge those types of batteries and only charges AA & AAA. If your batteries fit into your charger and the output power matches or is slightly under my power output then you should be fine, and anything that charges at a higher power output should not be used since Duracell hasn't made batteries and a charger that can handle higher output power charging yet. Good Luck!, bye &#9685; &#9697; &#9685;

I read that a Battery Tender (brand) charger is compatible with Shorai batteries and have been using one on 3 different motorcycles that I have Shorai batteries in, and haven't had any problems; the batteries have worked great.

I have only used the charger occasionally. I have found that my Maha MH-C9000 gives the most complete charge. At times charges a little more that the rating of the battery or only slightly less. It will take a 2000 rated battery that only holds 300 or 350 and cycle it until it is accepting 1875 to 1975 may. With the more simple chargers it is hard to know to what level they have been charged. I would read reviews from people that have used it more than I have. Hope that helps some.

Sorry, I can't shed any light on the subject, Brian. After ordering the charger I discovered the problem was with my battery not the charger - I returned the charger I purchased through Amazon. My battery had run too low to be charged using any charger. I had to take it to a golf cart service store and they got it up and running for me. The charger I had was perfectly OK.

I have a special charger for my R/C truck (duratrax onyx) that can be programmed for all types and sizes of batteries, so I don't have any problem with batteries overcharging. I purchased 5 additional LiPo battery packs for the quadcopter real cheap and they work great. The enemy of batteries is the charger - it's worth while to go with a programmable charger for any rechargeable batteries you own. I bought a cheap 5-way splitter to charge multiple batteries for my quadcopter at the same time and it works just fine. But, you need to have a good charger that doesn't overcharge. Otherwise, your batteries will puff up and their life will be shortened. Another advantage of a programmable charger is that the charge time is much shorter. I can charge one battery in as little as 35 min, or around 60 min at a lower mah rating (which will help the battery last longer). Look for a charger on Amazon - you can find them for around $35. I just cut the end off my 5-way splitter and put a plug on it that's compatible with my charger. Just keep the polarity correct and you're good to go. BTW - if you charge multiple batteries, I would make sure each is equally used, ie dead, then boost the mah rating according to how many batteries you're charging at once. I would charge one battery pack at 0.5 mah, but use 1.0 mah for 2 packs. Make sure the voltage is set correctly, as well as the type of battery (ie LiPo, Nimh, etc).

It works fine for any size battery. A slower charge is better for the battery as it creates less heat. If you are not in a rush this will work fine. For your battery, it will take it from a state of charge of 50% t0 90% in under 5 hours and will have it topped off by 7 hours or so. I like this charger so well, I'm buying two more. One to put a winter maintenance charge on all my equipment batteries, and one as a permanent install on a car. I have the 10 Amp version which I'm also very pleased with. I use in to charge my boat battery which is a little small but I'll be swapping it out for two larger batteries. It works fine for any size battery.
