Battery options on a 550?
« on: June 20, 2011, 04:29:22 AM »
So i wanna hide my battery under my seat on 550. What are my options for a battery as i think the stock sized battery is a bit big to be hidden under a cowl seat. I was told to use a moped battery. IS that enough to power everything and crank the motor?

This is a topic that has been discussed many times.  Do a search for "smallest battery" and "smaller battery" (in the forum search page, not the google search).

Also, look through some project threads for ideas as I'm sure many if not most people building cafes are putting the battery under the seat hump.

Not chastising, btw, just trying to help. :)
