Coincidentally, I just replaced my AGM Scorpion battery yesterday with a lead acid one from Batteries and Bulbs, $40 and tax. The AGM didn't last but a little over a year, and I keep a battery tender on it almost every time i put it away at night. This isn't my typical life span for AGM, so I figure it was a poor AGM battery to begin with. Normally, in my 'other' bikes, I get several years, with the longest being 5 years in my Yamaha XV920RH. But that is a long lifespan, not usually the case. I got the 10% discount by using the online code, at my local store also. Nice people, bring your old battery for the core!
