Title: What type battery?
Post by: 500rider on July 10, 2004, 01:46:14 PM
I need to replace the battery on my kat 750.  What type of battery do u'all use?  I'm tired of filling those stupid little holes with distilled water too so a sealed battery would be nicer but I don't want to spend a fortune either.

Thanks!

I use a Yuasa.  Its been a great battery.  I've had it for a year and a half now and never have any trouble.  It isn't a maintenance free battery and I had to fill/charge it when I bought it.  This was definitely new to me coming from car/hot rods where you just buy and install.  It wasn't cheap either at 80 bones but I'd certainly buy another one when the time comes.  I would guess they offer a maintenance free version though.

ES12BS sideways.... might need to route the cables a bit better. But sealed battery at walmart, $49, and will last 3-5 times as long as un sealed especially when you are lax in use amd maintanance.
Cool.
