Topic: Battery Question...

[Johnie]

Does anyone use an acid free battery in their 750?  If so, which one...

[eldar]

You would be talking about an all metal battery? Such as NiMH or NiCD?

If you mean "Maintenance Free", or sealed, a lot of us do run them with good results. I run an AGM (absorbed glass mat) battery as do many others.

[eldar]

Maybe he means an UN sealed lead acid? If so then gel or agm might be what he means. They still have acid but it is sealed in and cant leak unless damaged.

Sorry, I mean the AGM battery.  Or what ever is best so I don't have to fill it and it will not leak.  I have an Interstate with acid for my KO but want to give the AGM a shot.  What are you guys running and if you have the battery number I will order one.
I think the Westco is 12V14L-B if that tells anything.  I just have to be sure I order correct so I am not stuck with a new battery that I can not use.  That Westco is $90...yikes.
Thanks

I have this battery. It works GREAT! No refilling, no leaking. Cranks very well and holds charge even better. I got mine on a spring sale for $60. Normal price was like 70 or 75.

Thanks a lot eldar...I have a Batteries Plus near and will stop over there.  Maybe wait for the spring sale.  Thanks again...
