Just had my Polaris battery die on me after 2 years. Watched your video and ordered a Wicked Start immediately!! It fired right back up!! Thanks, man. I used your link to order it, so hopefully you got a little kickback from them. Either way, truly appreciate your videos, man!!

@Jimbobbington Год назад

Thanks man, hope it works for you as well as it has for me!

@janettewhite4776 7 месяцев назад

Same here! Thanks for a great video and battery recommendation!

@MikeyG6597 Год назад

Thank you Mr. Bobbington. I just installed a Wicked Staaaaht in my Scout Bobber today 👍

@Jimbobbington Год назад

Awesome! It's been great for me so far. Fires right up even after sitting for 3 weeks in the cold garage

@TheYoshikazusan Год назад

Your timing of this video is amazing. Literally my scout battery took a dive on me these past couple of days. Just bought the battery, let's see how it works out. Thanks for the video!

Glad I could help!

Thanks for making this video…just used it to swap out my battery on my 2022 Indian Scout Bobber Sixty

@Jimbobbington 25 дней назад

Awesome bro, maybe one day Indian will get a decent battery in these!

@ScoutBobrman862 Год назад

Looking to replace my battery as well. Looks like it's starting to give up the ghost. Less than two years ownership while riding the bike once or twice every week and using trickle charger only 6 times out of the year. Your video made me more excited to switch out the battery without fear. Thanks for the upload!

@Jimbobbington Год назад

Right on! The oem battery is super hit or miss. The Renegade has been great so far. Zero issues, fires up first time every time!

Thanks to your videos, I installed my garage door horn remote, and this same battery today! Thank you again and ride safe, brother!!

@Jimbobbington Год назад

That's awesome! You're the first to let me know you did the horn mod! I get a kick out of it every time I use it!

What did you use for the garage door opener? That’s been in my list of things to do

@Jimbobbington Год назад

@@corybartlett6896 look through my channel, I have a while diy video on it. Used a small key chain remote and wired it into the horn.

@Bpenano93 2 года назад

I was actually going to wait for your review on this battery before buying it but ended up needing it sooner.

@Jimbobbington 2 года назад

Oh no! Well so far I've had no issues. Fires right up. I'm looking forward to seeing how it starts up in the winter after it's sat for 3 weeks.

@michaelanthony29 Год назад

Any update on this batteries performance?

@Bpenano93 Год назад

@@michaelanthony29 wow. Can't believe it's been 8 months already. Well no issues still. Have not charged it either. I ride my bike maybe once or twice a week. It sat for almost 3 weeks and still fired right up. I live in a warmer state tho so it could be different for someone who lives where it's cold.

@Jimswholiestofcoleus Год назад

Thanks Jim...you answered many questions. My junk Polaris Batrery crapped out on my 2022 Bobber. I've been meaning to tear it our and replace it anyway. It's probably still good...but Its not holding a good charge long. Partly my fault as I haven't been riding much this Summer...just short trips which of course didn't help...But for peace of mind I ordered the WICKED STAAAAAAHT Batttttree' plus upped my AAA to include Motorcycles.... thought I had that already. Funny how one thinks of these things when nearly Stranded!!! Anyway watched this video a few times....hope it goes as smoothly here as well Thanks Jim

@Jimbobbington Год назад

I got 10 months out of my OEM battery. Never placed on tender... rarely go beyond 3-4 days without be ridden. Most rides are 70-100 miles.

Hi there Mr. Bobbington, i have some issues with the charging system on my 2018 indian scout sixty... last year i replaced the original polaris battery stock for a yuasa battery and faild me the entire last year... A couple weeks ago i replace it for a motobatt and it´s been great but this past weekend i didn´t use my motorcyle at all and this morning the battery was almost dead... any thoughts? Cheers from Chile!

@sammy9101 2 года назад

I have a 18. Been on trickle charger most of its time. Still on oem battery. This might be a option I might do it beginning of next riding season so I don’t get stuck

@Jimbobbington 2 года назад

Wow, 4 years is amazing life span!

@warrensmith897 2 года назад

Found similar results on my Harley's that had alarms that would discharge and flatten battery unless being on trickle charger, having said that this brand does not recommend this just every 30 days if not ridden and given the bobber has no alarm drain would probably follow that advice, should have waited for the end of the clip as Jim Bob does mention that LOL

@julianbolivar337 11 месяцев назад

Not battery related , check engine light common issue on a brand new bobber sixty , second time taking it to the dealer .. any experience with this issue ?

@Jimbobbington 11 месяцев назад

Many people have reported a seemingly random check engine light or two and being unable to pull a code. Hairbrush to me once on the first ride after getting my tune. Took it right back to the shop and they couldn't pull a code. Never happened again.

@warrensmith897 2 года назад

Thanks for the heads up on this unit, looks pretty impressive based on it's stats etc, hope it's made in the US or Japan and NOT China as from my experience Chinese made NEVER lasts, having said that sometimes we have little to no choice.

@Jimbobbington 2 года назад

I just went and looked and it actually does say Made in China on the battery.... but the company that sells them is American. I'm thinking it's kinda like tires for this bike. Almost anything is gonna be better than OEM.

@warrensmith897 2 года назад

@@Jimbobbington I hear that but that's coming off a really low base lol, last battery I put in my Harley was a Deka which is made in the good old US of A comes with an 18month warranty, not sure if they make them to suit the Indian? Deka is actually the OEM battery used by Harley but of course cheaper to buy via Deka than through Harley. Anyway hope it works out as their is Chinese and there is Chinese, some stuff is made better there depends on how well the importer monitors/works with them and or pays them.

@Jimbobbington 2 года назад

@@warrensmith897 oh for sure! I'll make sure and make a video of anything goes wrong with this battery! I plan on never trickle charging it as I almost always get to ride at least every 3 weeks or so thru winter here in Colorado.

@warrensmith897 2 года назад

@@Jimbobbington That's where I am fortunate as I only took delivery of my Bobber in late May this year so you are well ahead of me and I can benefit from your experience with things like this, hope it does the job and if riding in Colorado winter every three weeks or so you are a seriously devoted die hard!

@richjax2405 2 года назад

Great job, but was just wondering why you didn’t go down the lithium battery route? As this can save weight and give great starting power.

@Jimbobbington 2 года назад

Honestly, I didn't do a ton of research, just wanted to get the bike back running. I've never looked into a Li swap, and kinda just wanted to stock with what the factory intended for now.

@dakingzview8198 2 года назад

If you make a video about the battery I think you should explain everything it is about the battery because you're definitely promoting it.

@Jimbobbington 2 года назад

Not promoting it as I don't have enough experience with it to know if it's a great battery or not. Simply informing viewers of the battery I chose. I picked it because of price, high CCAs, and I've seen others use this same battery and haven't yet seen any complaints about it.

@dakingzview8198 2 года назад

@@Jimbobbington When you display a product on your channel that is promotion and promoting all that at the same time and you also suggested us to go look it up on Google for the specifications because you did not do the due diligence of getting the information and putting it in your video. Just a suggestion you should gather the information before you make a video don't just make videos just because you're trying to get views on RU-vid.

@Jimbobbington 2 года назад

@@dakingzview8198 I merely suggested you Google what an AGM battery is as I don't have the technical understanding to explain it. I just know it's better than a typical lead acid battery.
