Did nt think they came in any colour other than yellow.

If you do a google search for Motobatt and click images, all the batteries are yellow. Except one - which if you click on is a YUASA battery - Black.

I recently bought YUASA GEL batteries, as the MOTOBATT batteries on both my bikes died.

Which were both on trickle chargers, which I suspect were putting out too much charge. So have replaced trickle chargers with CTEK Smart chargers.
