recomend me a battery

[dan28]

recomend a new battery should i get a lithuim item or gel or maybe just a standard battery (i now have more space so can fit a bigger battery)

the lithiums are quite expensive is there any difference in porfrmance or is it more to do with the size of the batery fitted

AGM better than Gel , more oomph, no leaks like lead acid and cheaper than lithium

thanks for the link

because i now have more space enableing me to fit a larger than standard battery

should i buy one that is the same ampage as standard or higher

bigger battery = more weight = slower bike

bigger capacity battery = bigger cranking amps = reliable bike

put in a smaller powerful battery and use the spare space for your butties

my standard battery is 12v 6 ah

my local hein gericke are selling off their batterys half price

so is it ok to fit a bigger battery with a greater ah than 6 (remember my lights are wired permantly on)

i am confused when it comes to cranking amps the bigger ah = more cranking power but also battery is larger to accomened the extra power?

i would imagine the only difference you will notice ,would be your starter motor will spin faster , and for longer.

im basing this on having a high amp caravan battery,(NO ,? I DON'T OWN A BLUDDY CARAVAN)

[dan28]

so if the battery has a greater ah than standard it will take longer to go flat?

but would it also put strain on the starter etc ?

i am confused as it would still only be 12v

it shouldn't put too great-a strain on it ,as to cause you any concern.
