Sealed battery install

#1 Post by HWY9CA » Sun Dec 25, 2011 7:13 pm

I have been looking for a acceptable choice for a sealed cell battery for RZ 350 & 500's.

Came up with this one:
12v 5.4amH
Dimensions:
Length = 5.5"
Width= 1.90"
Height= 4.0"

It fits in the box no problem. It is lower than the wet cell batteries. It has TOP quick disconnects for terminals [alarm battery].
It is reasonably priced and has a years warranty to boot.

This is with the battery tender option installed.

You will need to tie down the battery protector top -as stock, the battery is a little longer than the wet cell. Top has lots of room you really don't want it pushing on top of connectors.

Merry Christmas -Hope this helps some of you out there in RZ500 land.

I am sure it will be valuable to the stocker folks - I already run a 2lb WKA12 Werker sealed battery.

That one is a 4.2# battery -a 2# er would be of interest on longevity?
