Have you driven one? Most got traded in within the first year of ownership because they wanted the jeep...till they owned one. They are NOT a car..  Assuming you have driven one, and know that, the older you go the more chance that the frame is rotted away. The TJ [97-06 ] is my favorite, is a real solid time proven little truck.

What I'm puzzling about most is the "BS". I cant find any reference online to a YTX 16 - only a YTX 16 - BS. The one in it is a BS, but the new one I have just says YTX 16. It's a maintenance free AGM battery - there is no acid or anything, and it's all ready to rumble.

The law changed over here recently so that you can't have bottles of acid shipped to stop you pouring it over someone

The front on the 850 is super strong. No 2nd disc needed. What I'm still waiting for is the adjustable levers (small hands)

Why does a V85 have two ?

OK. I'm going to fit this AGM YTX16 as I've got it in my hot little hands, and it seems to fit OK, and it seems to be pretty similar to what was in there. I could get a 20, but it would take some time, and involve returning the one I've got. And all that will take longer than I've got - it needs to be running for its annual safety check.

What I'm taking from this is that the 20 a/h is a better battery, but the 16 will do. Is that right?

I want that second front disc.
A front end off a V85 would go ok.
