Hi Guys,

does an 027 fit?
My battery has given in, and i currently have a Banner Bi post, but an 027 is the same size, and easier/less expensive.
I understand the terminals are the wrong way around, but if you spin the battery round, they are then on the right side, but then not exposed by the hole.

I always remove the cover as you would scratch it with crock clips anyway.

Cheers,.

Can't help with the 027 I'm afraid, but I just fitted an 010 in mine. Had to grind off the nut from the battery plate and put another one on a couple of inches further out - but it's a beast of a battery. The Bosch Silver one I put on has about 800 A cranking power IIRC.

I got an 027 for mine and it fits nicely, terminal no longer accessible from the hole in the panel, but can charge through the fag lighter in long layup periods.

Get the correct one from Halfords. They fit perfect!

When was the last time you got one from them? The last one I got definitely didn't fit.
