My story
judge for yourself
After having electrical trouble previously I replaced the battery on the bike with a sealed battery Brought it home filled it with the acid supplied and sealed it with the supplied strip to seal it No worries I thought
Date of purchase was October 06
Last fortnite I took the battery back to the place of purchase for a test as the bike was playing up a little
Slow on starting (you know from experience that some thing is not right ) flat spot on acceleration etc
Arriving at the battery place asked the young bloke to test it
put on a couple of devices and the result was its ok just a bit down on voltage so I thought all good put battery back in bike go for ride all appears good
Go for ride following weekend all good till 90 mins into ride stop and the bike cranks over but wont start experience tells me to clutch it before flattening the battery
Ride another 30k and the bike dies flat battery
To cut a long story short got bike home pulled the battery out got a screwdriver to lever the sealed section of the battery off the body an fark me the battery is nearly bone dry nearly one litre of water was added and placed on the charger.
It still holds a charge But I believe it has contributed to the damage of the recharging system which I now require rather expensive parts for see post

So when was the last time you checked the electrolyte level in your battery
