Well the battery is finally dead in the Busa lasted 4 years. I was wondering if i could fill the cells back up with the acid. and just recharge it. I used to work at the local suzuki dealer so i have acess to things most people dont.

Generally 3 days for shipping if we have it in stock. I have one left of the 9U's right now (Gen-I). Ship Friday, have Monday.
Just got orders in today to ship one to the Bronx, and one to Singapore.
Freakin' Singapore.

You are not supposed to ever refill a battery with acid. Just use distilled water. All the ions your battery needs should be in there from the original fill from acid.
Something most people do not know: the strength of the acid (remember "molar" from your high school chemistry class?) is not the same for all lead-acid batteries. You are measuring that strength when you do the proper test of the acid using a hydrometer (the little glass tube thing, which measures the "specific gravity" which relates to acid strength). Airplane batteries use a much stronger acid than regular automotive/motorcycle batteries, and airplane batteries actually produce a slightly higher voltage. Refilling a car battery with more acid will increase the acid strength, but that battery is not made to handle that and you risk a catastrophic failure (as in, the case cracks).
New battery is the way to go. You should also invest in a Battery Minder for $40. This device can desulphate your dead battery and often rescue all but the deadest of the dead.

it will pay for itself with the first battery you rescue. It's good for the environment too!

Did they redesign the terminals?

I swapped my OEM battery from my '05 this winter for the MotoBatt. I wasn't having any problems with the OEM battery, but I figured I'd rather be safe than sorry. If you're near me, you can have my OEM battery until you get a new one... if you're close enough.
EDIT: 6 hours away from Cleveland...

Hey Tim, do you sell that small lithium replacement battery for the Busa as well ?
