An anyone recommend a decent replacement battery for my pan as I am not paying £210 for a genuine Honda battery and don't want a Motobatt battery as I have at present and that is failing just outside of the warrenty.
Try your local motor factor - I use Mill Auto and they have Yuasa batteries at very good prices.

Can you even buy a flooded cell battery any more? I haven't seen one on a shelf anywhere in years. They don't come up in my searches for ST batteries either.Wherever you buy your battery, I'd suggest an AGM lead acid type over a flooded battery.
They still exist.. just haven't seen them in the ST size.Can you even buy a flooded cell battery any more? I haven't seen one on a shelf anywhere in years.
I really don't know. I've been dealing w/ a small company in town for all my car and bike batteries for the last 35 years or so. A real old time company that has skids of batteries and probably a zillion 'violations' according to environmental and OSHA rules. They have honored their warranties and have always been significantly cheaper than the auto parts/big box stores. When I was shopping for my ST battery shortly after I bought it ('13) I'm pretty sure they had them then. Now? I'm using a Shorai and would probably not go back, so who knows?Can you even buy a flooded cell battery any more? I haven't seen one on a shelf anywhere in years.

I picked up this Yuasa off Amazon, the H in the part number designates a higher capacity compared to a normal battery. Supposed to he better anyway...

It comes with a dry case and 6 tubes of battery acid that you will fill the case with once you're ready to use the battery.
I think the spec sheet may be off. Those batteries are the same size. It fit in just like the old one came out and the old one went into the box of the new one for safe keeping. No difference in size at all.Dale, I see that battery is about 1.5" fatter and about $50 more than the smaller capacity standard YTZ14S battery. How is the fit? I don't understand why it'd be that much cheaper....?
Awesome, thanks for the info!I think the spec sheet may be off. Those batteries are the same size. It fit in just like the old one came out and the old one went into the box of the new one for safe keeping. No difference in size at all.
