Sure, you can go to Kmart to get a battery, or any motorcycle dealership......  But these are different, they are the new technology maintenance free dry cell battery.  I have provided specs at the bottom of the page.

I have narrowed it down to these top shelf batteries for our bevel drives.  I have run the SVR 20 in my NCR Replica the 12V14-B in my Yamadog FJ1200 since 2001.  Not the slightest hint of a problem in either one.   Please see the FAQs below as well as warranty information etc.  These are very good batteries and should last the life of your bike.  Really.  The WestCo 12V14-B has the familiar & standard terminals.  The SV series batteries all carry an extremely heavy duty terminal, able to withstand much more vibration which is a major enemy to the life of your battery and it is only a few more bucks.

For non electric start bevel drive twins, you have 2 choices below.  For your electric start models, I present you with the top of the line SVR20 - a workhorse which is much smaller physically than your standard B68-12V 36AH stocker but will outperform in in every way.  For the 6V crowd, I have also found you a dry cell replacement....  Don't be tempted to buy a cheap battery, you will have to replace it often, these you won't.  Lastly, there is a battery charger for these batteries, it can be switched between 6V and 12V, check it our on the bottom of this page.  If you own a 750F1 or a modern Ducati twin, please see the new WestCo batteries below, we now offer them.

These batteries can only be shipped to USA customers, sorry.  Shipping takes 3-5 days in most cases, and batteries are shipped separately to any other parts ordered.

FAQs

What is an AGM battery?
AGM is an abbreviation for absorbed glass mat. In this design, the acid is completely absorbed into glass mat separators which are sandwiched between the lead plates. It's a totally sealed and maintenance free design. There are no discharge tubes or fillers caps, which eliminates the need to maintain water levels and offers no concern about acid leaks on valuable parts and accessories.

Why is an AGM battery better than a conventional motorcycle battery?
AGM batteries offer the following advantages over conventional batteries:
- Sealed maintenance free design means you never have to worry about checking water levels.
- AGM technology will not leak or corrode on paint and chrome.
- They have less internal resistance which offers more CCA amperage than wet batteries.
- By nature AGM batteries are more heat and vibration resistant than conventional batteries, both which contribute to the large majority of failures in motorcycle applications.
- Slower self discharge rate (longer shelf life) means battery can sit for extended periods of time without constant monitoring. A wet battery discharges 15% a month, where our AGM batteries discharge only 2-3% a month.

Should longer service life be expected from an AGM battery?
Yes.
- The main reason wet batteries fail is due to the fact that water levels are not properly monitored coupled with the fact that they are not very vibration resistant. AGM batteries do not have to be constantly maintained and are much more resistant to both heat and vibration, which is why they offer longer service life.

Do I need to charge my battery when I get it?
No.
-Our batteries are ready to go out of the box if installed within the first
thirty days.

Maintenance and Storage

Our sealed GEL and AGM batteries require very little maintenance during storage. Their advanced technology eliminates the need to monitor and maintain water levels.  The sealed design means much longer periods between charges when the battery is inactive. A fully automatic charger such as the Accumate (LS6/1.2) battery charger or LS2606, is adequate to charge and maintain our sealed batteries. These types of chargers can be applied occasionally or can be left on indefinitely.
