Best battery for a Honda CB550K3?

<< < (3/3)

gtmdriver:
Just a word of caution from my own experiences.

I have found that the very basic charging system on older bikes can damage the newer battery types such as Gel, AGM and Lithium.

My 1989 Moto Guzzi overcharged a Westco AGM battery to the extent that it distorted, lifted the lid and leaked all over the engine.

Any battery that needs a special charger is going to struggle with the charging system on a 30 - 40 year old bike.

If you have one of the newer solid state regulator/rectifier units you will probably be OK.

My charger has a switch setting for either gel or lead acid.
