Our biggest initial complaint with the EVO 2 is that installation was not, as advertised, drop in and go. The terminals on the EVO 2 are sufficiently different that OEM battery to require relocation of the stock cables (at least on the CRF450X), and care must be taken not to ground the positive terminal against the frame (the resulting damage would not be covered under warranty). Nonetheless, all of this took only 20 minutes and required nothing more special than zip ties and a bit of insulating material - the latter just to ease our minds.Not only does our CRF450X crank over much more rapidly than before but our 100-watt HID lighting system will run at idle much longer than you'd ever need for it to.

After 11 months of constant use our EVO 2 wouldn't hold sufficient charge anymore. We exchanged the battery for a new one without a bit of hassle. Their warranty was as good as claimed. Unfortunately the second battery also went dead about six months later. In both cases, the battery went bad after a few weeks of not being used and would then not hold a full charge. The second time we had a much more difficult time with the warranty. We now suspect that the long-term reliability of the EVO may be suspect.
