I've bought an after market Yamaha battery

[stompandgo]

I don't have a single non-UL certified lithium-ion battery in my home. Everyone's risk level is different, however. I'm not one that wants to challenge my insurance company when my home burns down due to a runaway non-UL battery.

@Chargeride
Has your aftermarket Yamaha battery worked well for you, or not and is it marked as YMH-36a? I'm considering buying a 13ah version from an ebay seller and would appreciate your input regarding what you had purchased.
Any others who have experience with aftermarket Yamaha compatible battery?

I much in agreement but there aren't any UL certified batteries available for my Yamaha and I'm not ready to retire the bike. I tend to keep batteries for my DIY ebikes in a shed not close to the house, only the Keyde hub motor came with UL certified battery. From experience my homeowners insurance will go after a manufacturer whose product failed causing damage. Yamaha would likely be an easy target for them but it wouldn't affect my insurance compay coverage unless/until they specifically cease coverage for ebike or essentially similar lithium batteries (since everyone's house is now replete with lithium battery devices).

Disappointing but maybe all for the best.
