After 6-1/2 years of faithful service, I had to put my old Westco sealed battery to rest. When I installed Exactreps oversize battery box in July of 2000 I went with one of Westco's batteries due to them being on the low end of the price range. I never imagined it would make it this long.

I ordered an identical replacement last night! :eusa_dance:

Godspeed brother battery!!
 
That's really good life for a bike battery. I'm happy when I get 3 seasons out of them.
 
I used to average 2 yrs with the Yuasa's. When I swapped over I also put a heavy duty wiring kit from Uncle Fester and a stator from a Venture on it. Not sure if that had any effect on battery life or not. Didn't hurt apparently!

Just out of curiosity, how much better is the vunture stator?

After frying 2 stators over 5 years, a local mekanic recommended the electrex stator for a Venture. It was actually a little cheaper than the Vmax stator. I've had no problems since (knocking on wood).
