R1200RT battery replacement recommendation

Recommended Posts

I believe I am due for a new battery for my 05 R1200RT. Mine is 3 1/2 years old and I don't want to risk being stranded. Does anyone have recommendations for a replacement. Source and price? I will appreciate responses. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum! There is a lot of good information and entertainment to be had here.

 

The "Archive for Hexheads Maintenance & Parts Data" thread permanently affixed at the top of the Hexheads section at this site has good information that may help you with this question, and others like it that you may have later.

I just put in a Westco on my '05 RT for the same reason you are considering it....OEM Exide working fine but it was over 4 years old...Ordered on line from Westco and delivered to my door for about $107 in just a few days........Fits OK in width and length but is about 1/4 to 3/8's shorter so some kind of spacer is needed...I used plywood...See thread link below for discussion....Also will need to file off just a tad bit of the bottom side of the battery cable connectors...No big deal....
