Battery Size

[Tonythetiger]

Hi everyone, Hope your all ready for the fatman to arrive and get all you wanted.

I was after the CORRECT battery dimensions for my 1400 as the last 2 I've bought online are to tall and I'm unable to fit the storage box under the seat. I ordered for the bike and model but still to tall SO what should the correct height be for my K3?.                                 T.T.T

Did you buy one with the correct code on it ?
I got my last ones from Tanya batteries no problem at all .

Just been out and measured my battery,as it's on the optimate at the mo, and it's 140 mm high. All I can see on it, without pulling it, is JMT.

Like this one.

YUASA YTX14-BS (That's the one I got. Over 4 years and still going strong. The cheapo the po put in - not that cheap as he paid 18€ more than I did for the YUASA -  lasted 3 years):

Length (mm)    150
Width (mm)    87
Height (mm)    145

And yes, it fits the 14.

YUASA YTX14H-BS has same dimensions but more CCA (240 vs. 200)

This lithium fits perfectly, has more CCA than agm or wet batteries and weighs next to nothing.

I'll have to see if they ship to NZ when the time comes.


Just had a look & these are avail in NZ, that particular one is $250 here.

@dwain dibley. If you are using that exact battery then the problem you are having is that the terminals are in the wrong position, so your battery is back to front and my guess is that the cables sit on top of the battery in order to be attached, am I right??,if so it's no wonder your tray doesn't fit. Just my two penneth worth, hope that helps

Mines 145 high
Width 150
Depth 85

Thought it would have battery strap to hold it down but it doesn't, maybe that's the job of the tray.
Need a new live terminal cover though as its falling apart.

Size is important then

Size is important then 

It's not the size it's how you use it (or something like that )

My positive is where your negative sits if your picture is correct
