12 volt battery replacement option
« on: January 24, 2022, 09:22:53 PM »
I have found this replacement option for the SR/S and SR/F 12 volt battery in my search on the Web. The manufacturer does not mention if it is a direct fit for the bikes but if you read the specs, I would think it is certainly a good choice.
This is from Antigravity model AG401 Lithium battery  with the dimensions almost identical as the original one and the same terminals.

What do you think?

The factory battery includes an integrated heater.  I'm not sure if this can be removed and installed on the Antigravity model or not.  I'm also not sure what deleting the heater does to the bike's performance.  It may simply depend on the climate in your location.

The Antigravity battery lists for $120.  I haven't seen the cost of the factory battery on line, but I'll call my dealer later today.

When I look carefully at the heater around the battery, it looks like it is wrapped around with some sort of self ahesive stuff. I am guessing that it is probably transferable to another battery by also disconnecting the supply connector.

The adhesive battery heater is not designed to be removed, and doesn't seem to stick very well if you do get it off.

The AG401 battery is about 8mm greater in height than the OEM.
I haven't seen one to measure it, but that's based on the dimensions given on several websites
It would fit, but the left plastic underseat cover might be bent outwards and the tab wont tuck in.
The other dimensions are the same.
BTW the OEM battery is also an AG brand.
Cant speak to the heater sticking well to the substitute battery if you were going to try that, but even if it didnt stick well, you could shrink wrap it on with thin shrink wrap. There's enough room in the battery box for that.
Had a chance to look into this because I just bought a new battery from Koups Cyles. Interestingly, the OEM battery is also available from Walmart!
