I just did mine today and it is a pain. Pulled the old one out and took it to Advanced Auto on 44 and they tested it. It was dead. I got a Gold Die Hard (3 year warranty) for $239.00. The Silver was less $ but had a 2 year warranty. The battery that was in the cart when purchased had no information on it other than 12 V. The battery I got is a group 24 battery
Dam, $239 for decent group 24 battery, and we are being told inflation is under control. The good news is that when Costco opens we should be able to get a decent group 24 interstate battery for about half that price. And yes, changing the battery on a quiet tech is a pain. It takes about 5 minutes on our 2014 Yamaha and about an hour on the much newer quiet tech. I guess that’s the price of the noise dampening technology?
