Title: Small Battery
Post by Trailwood on 07/25/13 at 19:18:49

I'm looking for a smaller battery for my 2007 S40 so I can make room for a round oil tank under the seat. Does anyone have suggestions for a good battery that's significantly smaller than stock? I'd like to stay under $100 if possible.

Thanks!

These batteries are way smaller and lighter. The earthx brand also has a circuit inside that balances the cells so you don't need a megabucks li-ion battery charger.

I bought the same EarthX battery ast GyroBob....except I bumped up to teh 12A battery. Same size case but twice the amp hours.

After having ridden with it for a couple of months the 6A would probably work just as well. I don't ride when it is cold, my bike is stored indoors, and when I hit my starter button my bike never turns over more than a second before the bike is running. I njever have to cank for extended periods.

Yeah! I'm relocating the battery as we speak. There is a very helpful write up somewhere on here that I will look for an post for you. I got the battery brand new off of eBay for $115 shipped, came in like 3 days.

Thanks Everyone... I appreciate the help. The EarthX batteries look like a good option. I've also seen the Bike Master batteries out there. They seem to be a good price, but I don't know if they are any good. Any thoughts?

thanks Again!

However since I put the 97mm high compression Piston in it struggled to turn over and then failed completely. To get the CCA required I would have needed to go to a ETX24C or even bigger. Which also meant bigger case.
So I went for a Aliant X3 Batt which is slightly bigger in size but with 300A CCA. And it still fits in my converted air box.
