BigMig Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I phoned the local Honda dealer and they have replacement batteries for my 2000 xx. These are the "fill em with acid, then charge slowly for 24 hrs" type I've seen batteries that use AGM (absorbed glass mat)- and are sealed. That seems pretty cool - less risk of leak, etc. Is one better than the other? More longevity, better cold cranking amps, ??? Also, I read that our bikes can use the same battery as the ST1300 - it has a little more amp hrs. Anyone know for SURE? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR71BLACKBIRDXX Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 2000 Blackbirds came with Yuasa YTX12-BS batteries. Later ones came with a Yuasa YTZ12S. Both are sealed and any halfway decent dealership should have these in stock. A YTX12-BS is considerably taller and Im not sure if they are interchangeable. ST 1300's come with a Yuasa YZT14S. They are identical in size to a YTZ12S. Only difference is in CCA and capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_40 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 ST 1300's come with a Yuasa YZT14S. They are identical in size to a YTZ12S. Only difference is in CCA and capacity. Been using a 14S for a season now with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
