My battery is toast the battery box on the right side fire wall area is 4 3/4" W, 7" L, the height of the battery is 6 1/2" H can anyone give me a hint where to source a battery that could fit without making a new battery box or holder.

You can use this size chart to turn your dimensions into the BCI Number. Then you should be able to search for a specific battery.

I got a Uninterruptible Power Supply battery from Batteries Plus for my motorcycle, they have them in many sizes. The batteries have spade connectors instead of posts, but was easy to adapt. They're available in many sizes and capacities and don't weigh a lot.

Assuming you don't need cold weather starting, and your engine isn't high compression, a lawn tractor battery would be more than enough. Worked fine on my supersprint.

I used a Walmart jetski battery. It works fine on my three Caterham.

I found a BMW motorcyle battery that fit 98%. Just had to rebend the one side of the battery box by about 3mm and it fits great and has plenty of power to turn over.

Funny that I'm looking for a battery to fit the exact same battery box!! Which model BMW motorcycle battery did you choose?

 

Thanks!
