Einmal neue Batterie bitte
by Volker Weber
Meine Vespa wird wenig gefahren und da kann es leicht mal passieren, dass die Batterie ziemlich tief entladen ist. Das mögen Bleiakkus nicht so besonders und so wird bei mir ca alle drei Jahre eine neue fällig. Die letzte war "wartungsfrei", das heisst versiegelt. "Öffnen Sie niemals die Batterie beim Laden, füllen Sie nie Wasser auf". Naja, als sie dann vor einigen Wochen nicht mehr wollte, habe ich mal reingeschaut. Kein Wunder, die war ja auch beinahe halb leer. So etwas mögen Bleiakkus auch nicht so besonders. Auffüllen brachte da keine Heilung mehr, also musste eine neue her. (Reimen tut sich das schon mal. Am Versmaß wird noch gezimmert.)
Kleine Übungsaufgabe: Finden sie heraus, welche Batterie in eine Vespa ET4 BJ 98 passt.
Es ist eine YTX9-BS. Varta nennt sowas 508012008. Kostet die Kleinigkeit von 70 Euro. Ganz schön stolzer Preis für eine 8Ah-Batterie.
Zwei Häuserblocks weiter ist ein Polo-Händler. Dort habe ich eine Hi-Q YTX9 für 20 Euro erworben. Nehmen wir an, die hält nur zwei Jahre, dann habe ich in sieben Jahren den Preis der Varta erreicht.

Go get yourself a PK50XL (like me). That on simply has NO battery at all :)
I had one for 5 years. It sucks. ;-)
No, old school Vespa scooters rule! The right type of tyres plus some practice equates wunderful powerslides. The manual tranmission also makes them less interesting to thieves. My automatic scooter finally has been stolen after various attempts in different parts of the city.
I'm sure this has been asked somewhere, but any chance of getting a German-English translation (and vice versa)...something like www.joelonsoftware.com. I enjoy your blog and usually paste the German text into babelfish.altavista.com. I get the gist of it, but the text turns out quite comical. ie this blog entry:
My Vespa is driven little and there can pass it easily times that the battery is rather deeply unloaded. That Bleiakkus do not like so particularly and in such a way become with me approx. every three years a new due. The latter was "wartungsfrei", that is called sealed. if you never "Oeffnen the battery while the loading, fill never water auf". I clean-looked Naja, when she did not want no more then some weeks ago, times. No miracle, those was also almost half empty. Such a thing Bleiakkus do not like also so particularly. Fill up brought there no more healing, therefore a new had ago. (Reimen does that already times. At the verse measure still one gezimmert.) Small exercise: Find out they, which battery fits into a Vespa ET4 BJ 98. It is a YTX9-BS. Varta calls sowas 508012008. The little thing of 70 euro costs. Completely beautifully proud price for a 8Ah-Batterie. Two of house block a Polo dealer is further. There I acquired a rear-q YTX9 for 20 euro. If we assume, which holds only two years, then I reached the price of the Varta in seven years.
our websphere translation server translates the text fine - at least readable.
My Vespa is driven little and it can happen easily once there that the battery is unloaded rather deeply. The/that does not like Bleiakkus so particularly and becomes a new with me due thus approx. triennially. The last one was "maintenance-free" that is to say sealed. "Never open the battery at the store, never, fill up water." Oh well, as them/her/it some weeks ago no more wanted, I have once purely peeked then. No miracle that was also half empty almost. Bleiakkus do not like something like that so particularly either. Replenishment did not take any cure there any more, a new had to come. (Rhyming does the/that before. At the verse measure, is made still.) Little practice task: Do out they find which battery fits in a Vespa ET4 BJ 98. One is YTX9 BS. Varta calls something like that 508012008. Cost the small thing of 70 euros. Quite proud price for a 8Ah battery. Two house block further is a polo dealer. There I have one hi Q YTX9 for 20 euros purchased. If we assume that have these kept for only two years, I accomplished the price of the Varta then in seven years.
@ Sascha - do you really think there is a difference ?
It would be a lot easier for software to translate from German to English if there were no slang words and no common sloppiness in the original texts. Still, the translations are rather good with - at least in my opinion - Sascha's indeed being the better one. Ok, it didn't translate "Bleiakku" to "lead storage battery" and it too didn't catch that "nicht mehr wollte" could be translated to "refused to work". But better nonetheless.
Hmm. Maybe U.S.Robotics should use that Websphere Translation Server to generate their German pages instead of what they're using now ;-) Just check out this link:
