BS 175 DT Battery size
« on: November 08, 2009, 07:20:43 PM »
Hi fellow enthusiasts

What code (Yuasa) is the battery on a 1967 BS 175 DT?  If not known can you help with dimensions in mm (or inches) of the battery and amp hours?

Cheers

The original battery fro the 175-200-350cc models was a 12N55-4B

Super common battery and size, they can cross it with no problem

The battery for the 175/200/350 and BS-7 electric start is a 12N5.5-4B. It measures 5 5/16 X 2 13/32 X 5
3/16 with the positive lug opposite the drain line.

Richard Clark had stock of the original batteries. Give him a call at 812-944-1643 8am -6pm EST Only Weekdays or e-mail
at bsparts@aye.net.

If you try to buy it from a dealer or battery supplier, you'll find it isn't available. Use a 12N5.5-3B instead. It is the same size, but has
the drain tube on the wrong end, which really won't hurt anything. Be careful and do not get a 12N5.5A-3B, it's not the same.

Has anybody tried a Lithium Ion battery with these old 2Strokes?  Are there any issues?

I have been using the sealed AGM trailer breakaway batteries in my 90 sport and 350 GTO. They fit in the battery tray just fine, they're cheap, and readily available. And they won't vent acid on your classic ride!

I have a HS175 that I am slowly reviving..

I'm not real familiar with these (AGM?)- I googled the phrase - and I see what they are (to power trailers). I get that.

Can you post a link to what you use?
