Advice Needed

ok time has come the TBird needs anew battery.
Any one got any recommendations on type of battery and where to buy from?
TBird 1600 with Triumph alarm and mobiliser fitted.
Done all the usual tests and definitely the battery is shot, just not holding a charge.

 

No sadly, I park it on the street no garage otherwise I would plug my optimate in.
I think the battery is more due to it being the original one and getting old.
Charging etc is fine just not holding a charge that well now.

 

Lithium and Gel batteries I know very little about
My experience of them are in my phones and 2/70 handie.
Big difference to their use and usage as they aren't having to turn over a couple of great big lumps of metal to start my engine ( ok via the starter motor but you know what I mean )
With the older technologies for batteries I'm well aware of CCA and A/hrs etc.
From what I've seen on the internet so far this information doesn't seem to be available for Lithium and Gel.
Also are those type fine with the likes of an optimate charging them if needed or do they need a specific charger?
So what are good makes of those batteries?
Certainly I have nothing against using a newer technology if there is a positive side to it

 

Likewise if they are more reliable then I too will quite happily pay the extra.
It's just knowing what a good make is. The optimate I have is the 4 series one, which came with a Hella plug for plugging it into the bike which is handy.

 

I could have said it better. At the end of the day I would be willing to pay a bit extra.
Just don't know anything about those types of battery.
I can get a Yasua for about £90 for the bike but if a gel/lithium is really a better battery then yes I would pay the extra.
Never needed to bother about these different types in years past ......

 

LOL I remember the CB400/4 kickstart, prone to kicking back! Gave me many a bruised shin
