Really a newb question here.
I was trying to reattach the vacuum tube to the top of the air box today and I moved my battery out of the box to get in there. In the process, I spilled battery liquid (acid?) on my seat.
I was pretty surprised that batteries still have spill spouts. I don't remember seeing this on any of my modern bikes in the past, but maybe I wasn't paying attention.
Can I buy a battery without a spill spout? The battery seems new, and the PO told me he just replaced it.
Is this an old-fashioned battery for an old fasioned bike, but is this the norm?
Can I buy a smaller battery and save some of that space for other stuff?
Thanks.
