Does anybody know what battery will fit an 888/926/916/996 Corsa battery tray?

I thought that a YTZ7-BS would,but it looks like it may be too wide.

[skidlids]

Thought the YTX7L-BS would, its narrower but taller than the other YTX7 batteries

[Jasper]

The tray is 106mm I/D.The BS is 113mm.Somebody must be using one of these trays with a decent battery in it!!

Been there, done that. YTR4A-BS.

Yeah, it started the DD bike without problem and the compression was a touch higher than normal *cough*.

I bought a genuine Yuasa off t'internet for about £40 rather than paying £270+VAT from Ducati!

In fact, I might still have a couple kicking around in the garage if you want one to try it.

These days a Super-B Lithium Ion from someone like Harris Performance would be a better choice

It says it's dimensions are 114mm? That seems too big?? Do you have a pic of it fitted?

It went into the battery tray of the SS airbox which was for the massive Ducati battery! We managed to get the battery, PC3 and fuse box all in there

It might not be the right one - if you can find the dimensions then go by those.

2A doesn't seem to be much juice either for an SP5!!
