S1 battery

Post by 2F45T4U » Mon Feb 19, 2024 3:59 pm

I cant remember what ones fit and what doesnt.
Even though theyre 063, if i remember right not all of the cases fit in the hole.
Ive got a Lion at the moment

Does a Bosch s4 fit? ECP are pricing best so far on this..



Thanks

Ye. If you're careful, you dont need to remove the radiator surround.
The retaining bolt for the clamp has a very thin head, so dont loose it.

Just changed my battery. The one Halfords stocked was a high capacity and didn't quite fit. I had to trim 10mm off the battery bracket to make it fit. Worth doing as the new battery has a bigger amp rating.
