GS1200LC new battery options
Hi all to all the experts out there
my BMW battery, after about 4 years or so packed up. I’d like to buy a new one but Donford quoted R3500.00
Being technically/electronically challenged to say the least, is there an alternative battery that has the same specs but more affordable you can recommend, and where can I buy one please.
There is a sticker on my battery that says replace with an AGM battery with Polarity 1 and it’s a 12v, 12Ah 200A.
please help!
thanks
Buying alternative batteries is going to bite you 3 months down the line, maybe 6
Stick to BMW
Been there, done that, have tattoos, T shirt, nipple ring etc
I have previously used a Yuasa/Toplite or Motobatt equivalent bought from Trac-Mac.
The Yuasa and Motobatt websites have search features to find the equivalent battery for most motorcycles.
Thanks Giel
Thanks Melvyn, will check them out

BMW doesn't actually manufacture batteries. They take a particular high-quality brand of battery and "re-brand" it. If you can find out what that brand is, you can buy it directly at a fraction of the BMW-branded one, and you will have exactly the same battery.
Another example: The BMW GS boots are actually Forma adventure boots.
You could try DelTec in Paarden Eiland.
They have all kinds of batteries.
