P500 Battery Replacement?

[bms]

Any recommendations for a replacement battery for my 2016 500? It does have aftermarket electronic power steering, and added lights.

Below is what I have - is that the factory battery?

Must the replacement be a GYZ16H?

Thanks for your help!

That is an OEM. You don’t have to stick with YUASA but if you got 8 years out of one…why wouldn’t you? IMHO

Lucky you got a kind answer
There are A LOT of threads on batteries here on what to change, what brands and so forth if you want to venture to something else?
But like mentioned, 8 yrs is remarkable! Why go different?
Like saying, i had 4yrs with good economy with Trump, lets vote for Brandon! How did that turn out?

Is the Weize YTX14 BS a solid choice? Much cheaper than the Yuasa.

It may die tomorrow, but I'm still on the original in my 2016. I haven't looked at the price, but when it does go I'll probably go back with the OEM. Hopefully they are still made the same.

I usually go to wahlmart.

Ever think this might be why people block you? Or the reason people point out you’re being rude …. which I am doing now.

Just for my 2-cents: I had to replace the O.E. battery on my 2018 P500 about 2 years ago, like most everyone- I started researching. Come to find out, the Yuasa is actually U.S. owned and the factory is in Pennsylvania. They are the factory motorsport go-to because of their quality. They do not use any recycled lead for making the plates - only virgin lead from a U.S. mine. Therefore, that is what I bought to replace mine.

The Yuasa batteries that are standard equipment on all Honda powersports equipment from Goldwings down are good batteries that last a long time if not abused. you can buy a cheaper battery but I think you'll get what you play for.

My recommendation is buy another Yuasa.

Thanks everyone - OEM Yuasa it is!

I bought an Odessey battery for my 520. I put one in the Yamaha Grizzy 660 and Grizzly 700. You do need to get a higher amperage battery tender. I've been using Odessey batteries since 2008. No regrets with them. They last longer and are good for winching.

This is good to know for the future. Can anyone tell me what this is? It’s attached to the inside of the battery compartment door. I noticed it while changing my battery.
