4110 battery

[Lotek]

In large part because of this forum & the sage advice it has, I will be going to my dealer tomorrow to finalize the purchase of a 4110 w/FEL, BB, MMM. After reading the "4410 Battery Leakage" thread, I wondered if the problem occurs with 4110s also.

I discussed this with the dealer. He played dumb about the problem, but said he would credit $50 for the standard battery & install an Optima if I brought one in. Soooo, should I replace the battery with an Optima D51??? If so, where is the best place to buy one?

Thanks -- you guys are invaluable!

My 4110 has 30 hours and I have not detected any leak yet. I'm just waiting for it to happen. I will switch to the Optima D51 at the first sign (maybe sooner). I would take your dealer up on the credit/install offer.

Search for "D51" and you will see some threads with a link to an online store with the Optima batteries at a reasonable price.

Congrats on choosing the 4110. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I haven't seen the problem either, but I would take the dealer up on his offer anyway. Why not? It's relatively cheap peace of mind.

After just gonig through this on my 790, I would definitely take the dealer up on his offer.
Here is a link to Remy Battery I have not done business with them myself, but have read good things from others here on the forum.

I would take the dealer up on the offer, because it will leak on the 4110. It did on my 4100 (same machine basically)...do it once and never think about it again. Plus the dealer is giving some offset /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I can't think of a better way to get started, get the Optima. Sounds like your dealer is pretty super! Good job! Autozone has the D51, but you can't beat Remy....

Do it! I detected leakage on my 4110 around the 100 hr. mark. I caught it in time, before any real damage, and replaced it with a 51R Optima. Remy had the best price at the time.

Correction, that's a D51 , not D51R, sorry for the confusion.

Lotek: I have a 4300 , 2000 model and haven't experienced any battery problems though I keep looking every month. It seems to be a hit or miss. My guess is that most of the batteries are fine. You might be paying good money for nothing. It is warranted 2 years and because of the problems some owners have had it seems that JD will have to pony up for a bit longer if people experience these problems.
