[Ducati] battery question

[mike major]

Whatever you buy include a battery tender if you are going to store the bike
for any length of time.  Unlike Ni cads a lead acid battery really doesn't
like to be drained and then recharged, even if they don't die completely
they are never the same after they have been allowed to discharge
completely.  Moonbeam
