picked up a new Staab battery

[kenlodge]

FYI -
on the recommendation of Justin B. of the R65 forum  (see Important Topics) i picked up a new battery from Staab
http://www.staabbattery.com/product/sla-12/UB12220-V.html
fast shipping, sealed battery, ready to go!
AND it works SO much better than my 4 or 5 y.o dying wet battery.

the folks at Staab were very helpful on the phone and the "BMWR65" coupon code works for a 5% discount when ordering online.

Got Staab'ed on both my R65s. Great battery and a fair price. [smiley=thumbup.gif]

I tried mentioning Justin's name and they added 5% to my tab. [smiley=ROTFLMAO.gif]

haha!

...definitely a fair price, and it fit no problem.
  
i actually added about 1/2" of foam on the front side of the battery to make the fit a little more snug in the battery box.

I've got three of them, the oldest is two years old, spent six months in the '81 R65, last eighteen months in the oilhead, no issues with them so far .
