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.
Please keep us posted if anyone tries one.Originally Posted by FarsideF6B

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.
You bet YUASA ,I second that
Equitare solum equitare amplius
I'm also on the OEM YUASA bandwagon as all my steel steeds have YUASA batteries in them and never had one let me down.

I replaced min 16 with a Yusa battery and I always have before on my wing's, But, I replaced mine in 2021. when I was. checking everything out this past May before cross country trip, checked the battery voltage and it 12.13, then steadily drops below 12 volts. As a retired electronics tech and mechanicing all my life, I replaced it with the above battery, Energizer. Very disappointed with Yusa!
Could it be you got a dud. I bought a 2016 last year and it looks like an original Yuasa, did a X-country last year, no problems, and will do Alaska this year with the same battery. I do keep it tendered, not sure if that makes a difference, you're the expert on that. Look at Ronald Reagan Jr., even the Gipper produces a hunk of $hyte every once in a while, then there's Patti Davis, maybe twice.

Apparent difference only, both function same plus a lot of battery brands are available now you can try them on.
