Please let us know if you need help with battery install we are happy to help. Our mobile truck keeps batteries on the truck and ready to go.
The battery is only 1/2 the system. Yes batteries go bad under regular use 4-5 years if not used all the time that is more like 2-3. Keep in mind if you have lots of items attached to the key switch like headlights or other accessories you likely have issues with overcharging. It increases the voltage drop on the charge wire reducing the excite voltage causing the generator to overcharge the battery and shortens the usable battery life by 1/2. Many people have talked about this issue and it’s an easy fix.
As a Yamaha Dealer working in TV but located just south we do battery installs for less than what you paid for that battery. And we do all the work in your driveway.
