If I had it to do over.....I would probably have paid more and tried to find a made in USA Battery, if that is even possible anymore!

Well, everything else on earth is now made in China. As I recall, they were backing Uncle Ho.......

I don't hold grudges at my age. Too much work.

You are correct bountyhunter......so true, so true
Oh well....it is what it is.
Excited to get it installed tomorrow and see how it goes.

OK, Took the battery out of the box, compared it to old one, Dimensions are identical,Fit in stock battery case with no problem. Scorpion battery had 12.67 volts when I checked it before installation. I got it installed in my bike and connected to the Battery Tender,I havn't tried to start it yet. I will wait until its fully charged in a day or so then give it a try.
Satisfied so far.

It will really spin the starter. I think mine is three years old now and it cranks like it did when it was new.
