Hi all. I am currently in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan trying to source a new battery for my faulty one (won't hold a charge). The exact battery size is proving extremely difficult to find here. Can anyone tell me the maximum dimensions of a battery that will fit in the T7 (especially height) without getting squashed by the seat. Also is 9 Ah OK ?(I believe 8.6 is stock)

Many thanks to you all 

Can't help on dimensions right now but 9ah will be fine

6 in. x 3 7⁄16 in. x 3 11⁄16 in.
Weight:  
Metric Dimensions: 150mm x 87mm x 93mm

 

Smaller (within reason) will work.

Hmmm. The one they have available is 108mm height. Time for a rethink. Thanks.

the size i gave you was the size of the stock battery. I am not at my bike but I am sure there is some clearance. Worst case, you cut some of your seat pan away.

Push start your bike and take it to where you are getting the battery and try it.

Neil, there should be some space above the battery due to the underseat storage area. You could check if this "compartment" sits directly above your battery (I have a rally seat with a bigger compartment, so can't check it).

If this is the case, you can probably use 20-30mm higher batteries than stock. Good luck and save travels!

Yes, the tool kit is immediately above the battery, I was actually just looking at it. I think 108mm height would be fine.

Hello again. Just to follow up: these are the 2 batteries I have to choose from. As you can see, one is

12V, 9Ah, 200A

and the other

12V, 8Ah, 135A

Would either of these be PXL_20230823_054521918.jpg.2719d6be810378efde760d9a61c4ec48.jpgOK to use in the T7? Which would you go for? Apologies for my ignorance on these things.

In terms of capacity (Ah) and max current (A) bigger is always better.

The Bigger one every time
