    Anyone have any experience of Numax batteries? I’m considering one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354052779469 rather than going for the Yuasa YTX12-BS for my 2013 1050 Tiger SE.
    It’s cheaper, physically the same size and shown on their listings as a suitable alternative, but the main attraction is the 210 CCA it claims whereas the Yuasa is only rated as 180.

    That seems a good price for that battery, other sellers are showing nearly the same price as the Yuasa.
    I have no experience of this make but it is showing as having a years guarantee so for the price I would suggest that it is worth a shot, particularly as it has a CCA figure of 210amps

    I agree an upgrade will be beneficial as I found the Yuasa12BS on my 1050 Tiger to be lacking when it came to starting if stood for more than 2 weeks. The Yuasa 14BS on my current 1050 Speed Triple is so much better but unfortunately cannot be retro fitted as it is larger than the 12BS. No experience of Numax batteries so sorry can't offer an opinion.

    I've used Numax in the past and would use again ;)
