Title: Recommendations For V7 III Battery Replacement
Post by: Guzzi Gal on April 06, 2022, 11:44:49 AM
Anni's original Yuasa YTX14-BS has given up the ghost. :thewife: We live in Phoenix, where batteries go to die a quick death in the heat, and are on a very tight budget. My husband ordered a replacement with an excellent 36-month warranty. Alas, it is a half inch too tall and can't be secured properly. We are now stuck with it because batteries aren't eligible for exchange.

Requests, in no particular order:
Long warranty
Decent quality
Low price
Measurements: L 5.75" X W 3.5" X H 5.75"
Lower weight is a bonus if the above are met.

That said, what does the WG Braintrust recommend? :bow:

I have this brand in my R75 ans EVT. I don't know how long they will last, but I have been happy so far. They do list the size, provided the numbers are correct.

Wanted to add. If you order this battery and order the black one, you may get the blue one. Or the other way around.

GG,
Replaced my original Yuasa YXT14-BS with a Firepower CTX14-BS in my 2016 Stone II in NOVEMBER OF 2019.
Physical dimensions are critical & this was a direct swap. One year warranty. Don't remember the price but it was less than I had expected. It has performed well so far.
