Great Value
My husband says these are great batteries...and that's why I ordered 2 new batteries for him! The Harley brand battery lasted only 2 years. He tried Chrome Battery and those ChromePros lasted nearly 4 years. So when it came time for new batteries, he wanted the new ChromeNow battery.The battery came fully charged and securely packed: a styrofoam base and top protection and then in another box with air cushions. The box was properly labeled as containing a battery. Inside the inner box was the battery, connecting hardware, and instructions for using an app to monitor battery voltage and temperature.This is a sealed AGM battery, so no need to add acid, no spills, and no need to check water levels later. With the app, voltage and temperature can be easily checked. There's a metal tab to bolt cables to, not a lead block that can get stripped. Just don't let the tab get twisted when tightening cables. He's had no problems with fitment using their online selector.Other than that, his only suggestion is to get the 3-yr protection plan that may be offered for a few dollars. Cheap insurance against a dead cell that sometimes happens. He says you can't beat $90 for a guaranteed 3-yrs when it comes to a motorsport battery. Most motorcycle batteries have a 1-yr warranty, but Chrome Battery has a 2-yr warranty when you order from their website, and through Amazon a 3-yr protection may be available.

6 months in and dead
I thought the battery was okay at first but now 6 months in and it won't hold a charge or start in the cold. Confirmed at motorcycle dealer. Not dependable. I'll update this if product support is responsive, but right now it is not looking good in that department (Link for support was bad).Update Dec 9, 2023: Though link for support was bad, I did manage to get there. Pros: easy to work with---gave them order data and they offered a replacement. They offer replacement for up to 24 months after purchase (but no refund after 30 days, I think). Cons: they charged for shipping the replacement and it has yet to arrive (1 week later) and no tracking number.Update Dec 11, 2023: Spoke to someone in support and they were able to get me a tracking number. The replacement came but it is not the same battery. The replacement they sent (https://www.amazon.com/Rechargeable-YTX9-BS-iGel-Motorcycle-Battery/dp/B00IUWM59O) sells for $19.36 less (on Amazon as of this date) than the battery it is replacing. Nor does it have the bluetooth phone app connectivity. So when you consider I had to pay for shipping the replacement, I am down $27.76.Upshot: I will not be buying another battery from Chrome and cannot possibly encourage anyone to do so. A waste of time and money.

The best batter for the money
I have used various batteries from this maker for about 10 years. This latest model does not disappoint! There's an app that monitors the battery health, so that makes it a little easier than the previous version that had the digital readout for some installations. I've gotten years of use from these batteries. Their 2-year warranty beats any other on the market.The only drawback I noticed with this latest version is that some batter covers won't match the top. A 2000 sportster battery cover has a bend that hits the top of the battery as shown in the image. This battery doesn't have a deep cut-out between the posts like older batteries.

Really like this battery ! Good product !
Bought a weiz lithium battery for my motorcycle that lasted just beyond my Amazon return policy, don’t go lithium.Saw this Chrome brand battery had a Bluetooth app where charge can be checked anytime your in Bluetooth range. For $59 bucks, thought I would give it a try. Man I love this thing. If I understand it right, it tracks and logs your battery charge and temp every time you open the app in range. The app has some bugs in it, or would have hands down gave it 5 star instead of 4. I have several bikes and jet skis that the Bluetooth charge info would be perfect for, and save me the disappointment of discovering a dead battery. I see price has gone up some since my purchase, but having multiple bikes and skis, I will 100 percent be buying again !!!I have included a couple screenshots of the app battery info . I couldn’t get my app to recognize battery after a day or two and contacted chrome battery, I got a reply from Tamera in minutes trying to help and contacting there techs. Was impressive to get fast reply and live contact instead of automated reply.I got it all going again by listing same battery as additional, then deleting the duplicate. The app still a little buggy but I can assure you, as my current batteries need replacements, it will be Chrome battery!!!Happy with my purchase !SC

Great customer service
Initially, when I installed the battery the Bluetooth wouldn't work. I contacted them for support, and it was great. I was included in the email chains so I could see that this issue was quite important to them. With their assistance, I downloaded a special Bluetooth app for troubleshooting. It found the battery and hooked me right up. Now when I open the app, it hooks right up. A nice touch was that the app sends a monthly email showing the voltages and temps for the battery. That's a great feature. I initially thought that Bluetooth on a battery was a gimmick, but it's a great idea. Combined with the great price for the battery, this is a great deal for anyone that needs a battery.

heavy duty
used it right out of the box to power up a trolling motor. I have bought two and will be buying more.
