Bigger Battery For GK73A Results


I originally posted this on the GB forum but its better here since more focussed, and better to archive.

I fitted a CTX12BS battery instead of the 9. It is 25mm taller, but needed in this case since heated gloves are used due to circulation problems.

Its been in for a year with no problems, apart from the rubber battery strap broke so its held in place with foam trapped beneath the tank bracket.

Is that a Sealed Unit?

Useually the Sealed ones are the same size, but give a few more Amps...

On the downside, they cost twice as much, but do last twice as long as normal batts!

I think so - its one of the batteries that you have to fill up with the pack, leave it then put the plastic thing in place that you should never ever remove.

There good batteries they are the sealed units its what I will change over too when I need a replacement.

I used to use a dry cell sealed battery in my old GT380, they are normally used in things like alarms systems and are factory sealed so its just plug n play so to speak. emoticon

Although saying that I had a battery off a yacht in my old GT380 as well. emoticon

Make sure you charging system is sound before you fit a sealed battery as they will die very quickly if they are deeply discharged (too often). It's about the 1 thing they _really_ don't like.
