Recommended Battery Replacement

Hi guys, a little help required today!


My Mutt Fat Sabbath battery decided it would pack in this week, so I went and bought another online, following the specs that I had found from different websites. Turns out, the specs were wrong (and I wasn't in the same place as the bike to measure), so the new battery is too large.


I have bought a Yuasa YTX12-BS (LxWxH 150x87x130) and it annoyingly doesn't fit, and the bike came with a shitty Chinese battery which is already dead less than a year on (Shenchi BTX9A-BS). I can't seem to find those of the correct size (the Shenchi is LxWxH 130x70x130), so any recommendations would be grand.


12v 10Ah would be best. (Additional question, how much of an increase can be made with Ah?)


Thanks everyone!

Your limitation will always be the space you have available.

Higher AH means more power available at any given moment.

You would rather be looking at CCA (Cold Crank Amp) as this is where the battery gets the hit.


Unfortunately suppliers nowadays can't take batteries back as they are filled before posting for safety reasons (some morons have no idea what to do with a battery acid and hurt themselves or are using the acid for illegal purposes) and once it's filled the guarantee kicks in so renders the battery unsellable.
