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.
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! Leaving FL in June and going thru TX we hit temps of over 108 degrees. I figure I was pretty lucky. So I've got an OEM coming and went ahead and took out the existing one. I believe it is the original. Look at the corrosion on the positive post.
