    battery differences....yb10l-a2 and regular 10L-a2

    so i bought a new battery for my 81 gs550 and the guy at the store told me this was the one i needed. its a 10L-a2 battery by autocraft...i got it home and filled it with acid only to realize that the positive and negative terminals on this new battery are opposite of my old battery...so i guess my question is will this battery work the same provided i can get the battery cables hooked up correctly?

    Yep, it should, but, I'd go get the correct one. It makes the battery connections much easier......obviously.

      Also make sure the over flow drain tube coming from the battery is on the proper side of the battery, and can be routed though the battery box.

        I have read somewhere that if you really flatten the battery & then charge it backwards you can reverse the polarity of the terminals.... Do some more research before you try it though because I don't know enough about it to recommend doing it or otherwise.
