Anyone fitted a larger battery to their BT-50?
I have a 2014 model with original Fomoco Din Battery 740 cca and would like to upgrade to larger battery, 790/810 century or 900 Alco, or any other options I can find.
I've had the battery out and it sits in a plastic tray which is loose, the plastic tray is held in place by clips to battery wiring, the weight of battery and finally a bolted bracket across top of battery holds it in place.
It is a snug fit in plastic tray and not much room to go bigger, if tray is modified, by cutting our sides, you could go, possibly 10 to 15 mm wider, hopefully 50mm longer but not sure and possibly 20 mm higher.
The larger options I’ve found above (century and alco) have a longer battery, so I figure I could simply cut the end out of plastic tray so longer battery will fit, the 900 cca alco is the biggest so sounds like the best option so far.
Has anyone else done this, or has a better idea?
