Obvious noob question: Current replacement battery is quite a bit smaller than the stock H2B battery box. Probably should look to see if it is 12V/6AH or smaller or just what it is. Recommended source for a good 12V/6AH which will fit the battery box? Local MC dealer or Walmart, etc.?

Thanks, Rusty34

Get any decent one you like, and if it's too small for the box, use foam rubber to make it snug. I'm using an AGM battery in my H2, with foam all around.

Stay with an AGM battery so you don't get battery acid out gasing and spilling out on the bike.

just take the good one according to the positive and negative wiring position , means the positive should be on the front on the battery (near the side cover) and the negative at the rear if my memory is good, if you don't the wire on the wiring harness could be too short :mrgreen:
