Best Battery For CFMoto CFORCE 500s

Question

Hey all I have a 21 500s if I park it in my garage for a couple days the battery goes low and clicks at the starter. I’m past the 30-day warranty on the battery and need to replace it
. have any of you replace your battery and if you did what did you replace it with. I don’t want to go with the stock junk one. It is a 12v 30ah 400 CCA thanks in advance!

    I did a load test to the battery and it is bad!

    I would make the dealer replace it. The stock Yuasa Batteries are not cheap batteries. I am a dealer and would replace the battery without question if it was faulty

      I called them and they said it only had a 30-day warranty and I was past that point there was nothing they would do

      that’s terrible. I would contact Yuasa and maybe they will warranty the battery, or find another dealer

      I’ve seen other posts on these forms the guys are complaining about these batteries and saying they’re junk that’s why they only give you a 30-day warranty

      Yuasa makes some amazing batteries. I still have the OEM Yuasa in my 2014 Yamaha WR250R and it starts the bike the same as it did 7 years ago. Are the OEM Cf Moto batteries really Yuasa? And failing so soon?

      And yes I’d call Yuasa too. I bet they’ll help ya out somehow. Can’t hurt to ask!

    Why is everyone jumping to the conclusion it’s a faulty battery?
    (2 amp or less on a smart/voltage controlled charger)One thing that people often neglect is that the battery is an AGM, and needs to be properly activated for service by way of a long low amperage initial charge. Hook it to a car type charger or a ‘quick charge’ and that battery will be cooked and will act just as the OP describes.
    A parasitic draw in the electrical system does the same thing too. Why not disconnect the charged battery for a couple of days and see if it goes flat when out of circuit? If it does then maybe it’s a battery issue, if it stays charged then it’s a machine problem. A similar test is to put a good ammeter in circuit with the stopped quad. 🙂 Good luck.

      I have a 3 amp battery trickle charger which I have put on the battery and let it charge overnight the battery showed it had 12.4 volts in it the minute I hooked my load tester to it it dropped from good to weak stayed there for a couple seconds and steadily dropped till it hit bad in my opinion I have a bad battery

      That sounds right. Question is how did it get bad? My experience with Yuasa batteries over 30 years is they are a reputable brand. Who activated the battery, and how? Would be my question. PS my own Yuasa in my 800 still holds a charge perfectly, all winter, not on a maintainer. They should be able to do that.

      I bought the machine brand new last fall from my local dealer I also bought a 21 Polaris 450 ho a month earlier and have had no problems with it. I figured my dealer took care of the setup. I’ve done my own service I do plow with it in the winter but our winner was quite mild I have been a small engine mechanic for many years I understand charging systems and I believe I have just gotten a bad battery. The one thing that does concern me though is CFMOTO offers a base 1 year warranty which you can extend it to six years but yet they only offer a 30-day warranty on the battery that tells me the batteries aren’t that great.

      I have a 2029 cf moto uforce 1000 did the same thing after couple days of no use would drop to under 9 wouldn’t start added a trickle charge battery tender from Amazon (49 bucks)when not in use stayed at 14.2 ever since even in Michigan winters maybe this might help
