Great Value
I really like the news letters and fast shipping.
I've used this battery for a little over a year with no problems. I liked it so well, I just got one for my wife's S50 Suzuki. The battery was about twenty dollars cheaper than buying locally and no shipping or tax made it a super value.

1999 Intruder battery
Can't say how long the battery will last being only had it for 2 months. One year should be a good test.
Battery fit as expected. Just like it were from the factory and was fully charged upon removing from the box. My battery box had some extra room on all sides for some padding. Highly recommend padding if your battery isn't tied down by any clamps like mind. Price definitely drove my purchase. Second was customer service. Pleasantly surprised how fast the battery made it to my home. (couple of days) I have a second bike (BMW) When that battery is done, I will look to this store for that purchase.
Cons:
None at this time. Battery is in the bike for only 2 months now. All is fine.

Great Battery, Great Price
"Guns don't kill people, dads with pretty daughters kill people."
A great battery at a great price! Quick delivery, and the battery was exactly as described. I would definitely order again from BatteryStuff.com.
Cons:
I can't blame the seller for the difficulty of installing a battery in an old Suzuki Intruder; I've never had a bike where the battery wasn't simply under the seat, but with an aftermarket exhaust blocking the way, it took a whole afternoon to replace the battery! But that was the only problem I encountered and once the battery was installed, the bike fired right up, and I am one happy camper.

This battery was great
I ride this bike once a year on a long trip. I am very happy to have a no maintenance battery in it. (I do use a battery tender to keep it charged, when I think of it.)
This battery had the right connectors and easily fit into my Suzuki Intruder. I loved the fast delivery too. It was about 1/8" narrower than my previous battery, which made it easier to get it into the battery compartment under the bike. I have just returned from a 4400 mile trip with the new battery, and it worked great throughout the trip - even though I left the bike in "park" one night and drained the battery overnight. All I did was give it a jump start, drive for 50 miles, and it seemed good as new. I've never understood why the key comes out in that park position, but ....
Cons:
None at all.

Best Battery EVER
If you buy anything other than a Scorpion, you can bank its going to fail.
Had s Scorpion for 3 years. It finally gave up the ghost at Bike Week 2014. I was forced to buy a battery from a "discount" store for an insane price, it lasted the ride home and was defective. Bought another Scorpion and took that junk back. The Scorpion is hands down the best battery you will get your hands on.
Cons:
The only con is this battery is not available from parts stores. But two day shipping is worth the wait.

The price was right and saved me dollars. Shipped to my rural address fast.

so far so good
Ran it down and recharged a few times due to low charge rate on motorcycle. I had it tested at two different businesses, Autozone and Battery Joe and they both gave it a good rating. I fixed the charging system on my Intruder LC1500 and all is well, no problems turning over the big motor and it starts every time.

So far no problems. My bike cranks right up every start. Great value for a maintenance free battery. My last battery costs over $100 from the dealer and lasted about 2 1/2 years and I had to keep the water levels up.

Suzuki LC1500 replacement battery
i haven't had this long enough to know how long it will give me good service. The OEM lasted 5 years and the first replacement an Interstate lasted at least that long before I had to keep a battery tender on it full time. I plan on keeping it on this one most of the time when it is parked in the garage.
lower price than OEM.Plenty of power to crank 1500 CCs
Cons:
none so far.

Great Battery
I've had an electrical problem with my bike that quite a few motorcycle mechanics could not figure out. It turned out to be a battery with some bad chemistry involved. The battery I got from www.batterystuff.com (YTX16-BS-1 Scorpion 12v 220 CCA AGM) cured my electrical problems in short order. After I retired from The Charlotte Fire Department in 1997, I worked at The Battery House of Charlotte,NC for over a year. My battery education was very intence as my Uncle started this business and after his death my Cousin took it over and I helped him out, untill I retired for good. I have been very pleased with this battery and would recomend it to anyone that wants a very good battery at a most reasonable price. Shipping was outstanding and I was installing this battery within 3 days. When I recieved this battery it was fully charged just like the guys at batterystuff said.
Cons:
The only con I have; is that I did not discover batterystuff.com sooner.

Motorcycle battery
the battery arrived in 2 days and was fully charged and ready to use
Cons:
Be VERY careful if you have to return anything - the first battery was not what I needed as it has top and not side terminals - I shipped it back with the RGA number given by customer service in the SAME package in which it arrived, yet somehow it arrived "damaged". I did not even take it out of the box as I knew it was wrong from the start - Customer Service told me it was damaged and if I wanted my money back I had to go through the Post Office as they were not issuing me any credit - the USPO will not accept the grainy photos they sent me of the supposed damage - very disappointing to say the least - this was after numerous emails back and forth - be forwarned that is you have to return anything make VERY sure you do not send it back in the box they ship it to you in - it worked when they sent it to me but for some reason did not work when I tried to return it - lesson learned I guess........

Susuki Intruder Battery
I'm a mechanic, lost track of how long I've had the YTX16-BS-1 but it was over 5 years, up to 8 years. Never had to charge it or clean the terminals. Always exceeded expectations. It died today and I just ordered a replacement. Relieved to see I can get the same battery again.

Good Battery
Great value and fast service.
I've been using these batteries for years, they have always lasted more than two years. They are also inexpensive to buy and are a bargain compared to buying locally. I own five bikes, so some are used a lot, some I only ride only a few times a year. I've had one battery that's over four years old.
Cons:
I don't have any.

Recommending to everyone
I passed on doing a warranty replacement through Wal-Mart, instead opting for a new battery through Battery Stuff.
I have been dealing with digital marketing and buying online for decades. These people have by far been one of my best and easiest shopping experiences.
Cons:
None yet, we'll see how the Scorpions lasts, or if it stings me.

Battery for intruder 1400
Battery arrive quickly fully charged. Seems to be working well I've only had it for a couple of weeks but it seems to have reserved cranking, because I had to get my carburetor straightened out and it took some cranking to do it. I didn't have to jump it which was helpful. I usually buy the batteries that last 10 years but I don't think I'll have the bike that much longer. This battery seems good and the price was very good.
