What size is my battery?

[Guest]

Battery not holding charge - confirmed after tests.

No time to pull it out of the bike this morning and I'd like to grab a new battery on the way home from one of the aftermarket places around.

What size is it the battery for a 80GS1100E. I can probably just go by the store cross-reference but I'd like to be sure if someone has this info handy.

Thanks,
-Bob

Next question is what brand has a good gel battery I might find in the city in stock?

You probably don't want a true "gel" battery, you are looking for an AGM battery.

That is a type, not a brand name, it stands for Absorbed Glass Mat, and refers to the type of construction.

Read about it in Wikipedia: LINK. Scroll about halfway down the page.

Sorry yes I confuse the terms. Calling B+ as soon as they open as I see one nearby. Thanks!

Yep, that's the X-2.

Costs a few bucks more, but has a 2-year warranty.
