my original battery died a horrible death but I was still able to kick over the tt250 no problem with it half choked - the headlight flashed with the rpm at idle, but it ran fine. new battery being installed this week.

So far, no problem with the stock battery but I've had it on a trickler all Winter. Hopefully there will be no horrible death any time soon.

mine dried out sitting for 3 months. I tried topping it off and putting on the charger over night but it cooked out a lot of the water. I may give it another try but in the mean time I picked up a sealed glass mat battery to use instead.
