Topic: CB500 battery question

[Xavier823]

Would anyone know of a battery that I could use for a cb500 that isn't very big and hide easily?

-Thank you!

You mean smaller than standard?

Many opt for the Shorai LFX14A2. Its a Lithium Iron, small format, and decent cranking amps. You need to be mindful of your charging system when using Li type batteries as they don't tolerate being drained or overcharged, something AGM and Lead Acid can do.

You didn't mention using the electric start or kick start.

If electric start you're going to need at least a 11-12aH minimum battery. You could look into the Motobatt MBTX9U which is fairly small.

If you are dropping the starter and going kick only then you could use something as small at a 6aH battery

I am thinking about dropping the starter and just kick so I go with a smaller battery. I was looking at the Antigravity SC-1 Battery. Does anyone think this would work?

Electric start requires Cranking Amps, not AmpH(ours).
