Title: A bit confused about the "required battery size"..
Post by Afan on 04/16/17 at 16:52:57

My battery just died and I'm in shopping for new one.
According to "Technical Documents/Reference › Battery and Charging tips..." (http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1298579303), battery model, suggested by Servobot is Yuasa YB14L-B2. But, Oldfeller, two posts down, posted that the required battery size is 5.31" x 3.5" x 6.56".
According to Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Yuasa-YUAM2214B-YB14L-B2-Battery/dp/B000GTZZ0A/ref=au_as_r?_encoding=UTF8&Make=Suzuki%7C1&Model=S40%20Boulevard%7C19392&Year=2006%7C2006&ie=UTF8&n=15684181&s=automotive&vehicleId=1&vehicleType=motorcycle), Yuasa YB14L-B2 has different dimensions (see attachment).

Am I missing something? I'm assuming Amazon got it wrong, right?

Just cause your post has to do with something technical, doesn't mean it goes in that section.

Tech section... HowTos/technical data
RSD... all questions about the savage

same battery different dimensions...

BTW: spend a little more, get a maintenance free AGM

So wait, is the battery in the Amazon link the wrong size? Because that's what I've got in mine. Yb14L-B2 (m2214b). Didn't see an option to select different sizes

I really believe the Yuasa YUAM62H4L YTX14AHL-BS Battery listed on Amazon is the correct size for my S40. If it isn't I am not sure how I installed one in my bike.

I changed out the factory batter for the Maintenance Free Yuasa because it was a Royal PITA to add water to the factory battery.

I just replaced mine with this one after comments in a recent thread. The YUSA stock one was way down on water every time I looked... just a matter of time.

Perfect fit btw. ::)

I think I better check my water level! The factory battery is 9 years old but shows no sign of dying. I've never had a bit of trouble out of it. It's probably at least getting low on water! :o
