I want to put one of these in a Peg Perego Gator. How does it compare to a stock 12V 15Ah battery? Will it last longer per charge? Is it safer?

I do not recommend this battery. The technology is correct but the level of quality is insufficent. My battery lasted for approximately 10 Weeks and left me stranded 65 miles from home. They did refund the cost of the battery. Tom

I use it on my Honda motorcycle. I find that it starts quicker. It will hold charge for a very long time, but does not do well if it sits too long with a slow drain, such as a clock or other electronics that draw long, slow amps. I topped it off before winter with the Shorai charger and unhooked it from my bike. Sat for 4 months, still fully charged. Very light compared to OEM battery.

No, you can use your same charger... You just have to remove the plastic housing from the peg perego battery and place this new battery into it. I have no experience with electrical equipment, and I did not find it difficult to do. I watched an internet video demonstrating how to do so.

Not to be a "brand-hog" but I would recommend simply purchasing a Tenergy or Tenergy-recommended charger in order to get the most out of these batteries. Mine are over three (3) years old and still like new!

I use mine in my boat to run a acquarium aireator to keep bait alive. lasts several days before the battery needs charging.

If you want a lightweight starting battery then look elsewhere. If you want a heavy duty battery that can be rundown and recharged successfully, then this is the battery. It is far better than Optima in my opinion, having had 2 Optima Red Tops fail. I moved to a new residence last year, the car using this battery sat unstarted for 6 months (unheated garage) and it started up on first turn of the key last weekend. I wish it weighed less, but it's the best I've found so far. Shop around, compare; there could be a battery out there that suits your purpose better.

Mine replaced a 12 18amp hour battery...works well. Mine is in a formula race car, so It's not driven every day like a motorcycle or ATV. I bought mostly for the weight savings, but it's a great little battery. Hope this helps

It might help... I found that the regular charger performed poorly so I used a trickle charger thru the gator clamps and charged it that way.If I had know what I know now, I wouldn't have bought it. Poor design, short life of battery.

You are better off buying the Glenntronics recommended battery that way you do not have to drill holes in the cap like one person said here. It is about the same price, plus you have to buy the acid for it. My old Glen. battery lasted like 5+ yrs. which is good. The one before lasted about 7 years. Don't buy Simer Ace in the hole pump sytem, not good.

read the info. it is an AGM as close as gel as you going to get and even better. I have 2. it is sealed so no spills and no topping of fluids. best battery you will buy at a great price. 600CA better than some car batteries.

This battery is best for a fish finder. I'd get a bigger one for an electric trolling motor.

No, I sent it back -- thank goodness for Amazon Prime -- This battery would not fit right. It looked the same as the orginial but would not seat properly and then trying to get it back out i thought I was going to break it. so, no battery I quit looking and just use the 120 v pigtail.

This is a 12V battery, but for running even a small winch that still pulls ~40 amps I'd go for a bigger battery. This one is rated for 18 amp-hour (hinting it'll supply 18 amps for 1 hour, or 9 amps for 2 hours, etc) and I don't think it's a good idea to pull more than that 18 amp rating for more than a few seconds (like to crank a car).

I grabbed the battery out of my riding lawnmower, it wouldn't start the mower last time but I had charged it up since then. Took the thrower out with that battery and brought along jumper cables just in case. We threw over 250 birds and the battery seemed just as good at the end as it did at the beginning. I suspect a big ole deep cycle marine battery would run the thing all day and all night. I prefer the mower battery because it's much smaller and lighter than a deep cycle marine or RV battery. (and WAY less expensive!!)

Last summer I used this battery to power a 37 lb. thrust trolling motor on and off fishing for 2 to 3 hours at a time with no loss of powere for all speeds. It would come to fully charged afterwards in less than one hour. It was brand new then

If you need 24volts function or faster charge then use the larger capacity one (little more expensive) but if 6v /12v is good enough then I think it is the better choice. Little slower make your battery last longer!

I actually use this for my boat, any 12V battery will work, if you want to have something around that will last a long time, pick up a ATV battery at Walmart. It will probably run for days

Howdy Becky, These are a lot larger batteries that a normal "AA" battery. Normal "AA" are 1.5 volts, These are 3.7 volts. But they can be found on Amazon by typing in 18650 Batteries. Don't buy the cheapest you see Nitecore has a set of two with a charger for about $15 Prime. I have a set of these myself and they last about 8 hours while fishing. Once a month I let my light run completely down. Then I charge it completely. This helps the battery from developing what is call a discharge "memory." If you charge everytime it goes down to 1/2 time, the batteries will start to think 1/2 discharge is fully discharged. Hope this helps you out.
