ODYSSEY Battery

[hmeiseles]

Hi all has anyone figured out the correct Odyssey Battery model for an 05 R1200ST?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Don't know how different the battery box is,but the PC535 is the correct one for a R1200GS of the same vintage.You do have to trim a bit off the battery fins and possibly reroute some wiring that is close to the battery.

I'd get the measurements for the 535 and see if it will fit.

All the voltage,CCA,etc. specs are proper for the 1200 engine!

See this post on Odyssey battery install.

Someone also installed a PC625 but it requires close consideration of seat fitting,as it's a taller battery and will interfere with the front seat support bar unless the center portion of the bar is removed as is shown here:

Here is the PC625 install:

Again this is a GS specific,but may apply to the ST depending on seat construction and battery box dimensions and placement.
