Motorcycle Battery

[CB7/KA8]

I was wondering if anybody has replaced their battery with one for a motorcycle. They are small and is a good alternative to relocating the cb7 battery since they won't take up that much space under the hood. Or if you want to relocate the battery it will take up a lot less space in the trunk and will be easier to hide. This might be a dumb question but I have a one hour commute to and from work and it was one of the things I thought about. Yeah, I know, I have too much time to think. LOL.



Dimensions: 6"x3.4"x5.75"

no no no. motorcycle batteries wont be strong enough.

get a braile battery. http://braillebattery.com/ They are small and lightweight but will actually work for your car. That is, if you are really concerned about size.

Good shit!! I didn't even know these existed. Thanks for the link. I'm adding one of these to my build list.

The Odyssey may just be the way to go since they are half the price of the Braille.

Frootloops-What are the jumper cable-like connectors for? Are they required?

Everybody asks about the jumpers... . No they are not required, I was just keeping it trickle charged.

Cool man. So, how do you like it in Alabama? That's a huge difference.

There is another company called "Deka" I was reading about them not long ago, EVERYTHING as Braille, but a hell of a lot cheaper. I think the most expensive Deka battery I found was under 100 dollars. Most of are around 70 dollars.
