Yes, I believe so. It turns over but won't start. I've had Stinger for 3years with not battery issues. I'm not sure how old it is. This is my 14 F6B. Maybe the original battery don't know. I found this battery on Amazon. Says it is the right battery for the B. Any body seen/use this one? The one on the left. thx.

If your running the same battery that came with your F6B, kudo's. They will definitely last if you keep a battery maintainer on them during non-use. I keep my F6B connected via pigtail to the battery constantly when I'm not riding it.
Best for you to go OEM again. I've had Duracell batteries in group 34 before. They don't last long.
Don't cheap out on your motorcycle battery.
Let me repeat that. Don't cheap out on your motorcycle battery.

What Will said......
Buy a YUASA..... many, I repeat... many Goldwing owners have had their original YUASA battery last 6-10 years. It's the BEST battery for our bikes.
You will replace 3-4 cheap $100 batteries in the lifespan of 1 Yuasa $150 battery. You will save money and prevent headaches with a YUASA (Don't ask how I know)
Just my 2 cents
Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
Apparent difference only, both function same plus a lot of battery brands are available now you can try them on.
You bet YUASA ,I second that
Equitare solum equitare amplius
I'm on the prefer Yuasa bandwagon, always when I can.
I did an Interstate on last bike, last 5 years, was still going strong. It's not like Energizer is a bad brand, my biggest concern would be getting a fake battery off Amazon. If it came from a reputable supplier, I wouldn't be afraid to try it.

My original 2013 battery is still going strong. It spins the motor over fast.
It sits in the trailer all winter and starts fast in the spring with no charging in between.
But I will get her a new battery this year anyway.
The old battery will be a good 12v source for testing for a few more years if you keep it charged.
ITS ALL GOOD
Wow that is longer than mine.I do believe this is the original battery on my 14B. I called my local shop to see if he had the OEM battery and he said he could have me one by this Thursday. Sell it to me for $165+tax. I said done deal. I've never checked on the battery since I've owned the bike in the 3 years. I should have checked it last year before I made my 5,500 mile trip to Montana. Shame on me!
Yes, that does look like the original.
Most likely produced in 2013 .
You got your money's worth
