Early Strada battery recommendations

Post by dsamways »

Anyone got any recommendations regarding batteries? Mine currently has a YB14L-A2, but I'd rather fit a sealed job.

I think I've answered my own question here. My machine uses a YB14-2A battery. An ordinary lead acid job costs about £35. An Odyssey sealed pure lead job cost about £100 - these are excellent but too expensive for a kick start machine I think. A sealed AGM (absorbed glass mat) battery looks like a better option at around £50.

12 months ago got a new battery - lead acid type - from NLM for just under £20. Varta, so not some odd Chinese brand, and so far has behaved perfectly despite little use over the winter. 12N93B I think is the one.
