Agreed.

I normally listen to the vigour with which a battery cranks an engine and replace the battery if it is getting a little tired. I consider this really important on say the Twintop where if the battery is depleted the roof and window drop-down/up-lift etc. could loose adjustment settings.

The older batteries get relegated to use with 12V LED floodlights for use when working on cars, lawnmowers, etc.
