Frank, I have a gas 2012 Yamaha.
I'm looking at replacement batteries.
I know it takes a group 24 size.
I'm finding a standard automotive type is (surprisingly) more expensive than a marine battery.
Can a marine battery be used?
Yamaha recommends CCA 400, which the marine battery provides.
This is the one I'm considering:
Duracell(R) Marine Battery - Group Size 24 - Sam's Club (http://www.samsclub.com/sams/duracell-marine-battery-group-size-24ms/prod3590227.ip?xid=plp:product:1:2)
Last questions:
How often should the battery be replaced?
What are the symptoms of a failing battery.
Will it leave me stranded?
I'm not having any problems now, and wonder if I could get another year or two before replacing.
Thanks
