Hi guy's,
Just wondering if anyone has any views on the best battery I should get to replace the old and slow one that I have.... also where is the best and cheapest place to get it..
Thanks..

Hey Neil.

I replaced my Odessey with a Westco and think it is better.

I put a cheap land port in my 1100 about 4 yrs ago it very seldom gets a run but starts it every time and has never had a charge. Maybe 1200 is more sensitive..!

Odyssey

I put an Odyssey in my 1200 after BMW's originals packed in after a year and had no issues even when left lying for a few months. If you buy one of them it'll be a tight fit in the original mounting place.
I bought it from Motorworks or Motobins in the uk.

Which model number did you get? I have a Westco on my K11 and its been great for 6 years, still reads 12.8V, so thinking of getting one for the GSA.

Motobatt. Like Odyssey but not. Dual terminals so no buggering about stretching cables and is yellow!

I bought an Odyssey from Batyre in Belfast, he was about half the price of the supplier in Finglas.

The model number is 51913, I bought it from tayna.co.uk and had no issues with them or the battery.

Thanks - this is the same one I have in my K11. I wouldn't have thought it would fit but will have to try now.
