TOPIC:

Picked up a new battery from Wallyworld last night. The Wallyworld book said ??12AL2 for the KZ900 but ??14AL2 for the KZ1000. mine is 76 KZ900 but I thought the Kz 1000 battery might be a little heavier duty? Now appears it's a little taller than the ??12AL2.

If it physically fits, should I use it?

Here's the specs on the two straight from the Yuasa website:

4R, Thanks for the info. Very good. Is there any downside to me using the larger of the two, assuming I can shoehorn it in there?

Electrically, there is no problem. It's just physical. Make sure the leads don't short against anything.

LOUDHVX, Thanks, I'll give it try tonight and report back.
