My 15 year old battery is as dead as can be, no amount of charging will give it any oomph, the only thing I'm getting out of it is practice in kickstarting technique. Have decided to get a motobatt replacement but when I rang the shop they said it waas the most expensive battery they had in stock. Before I get the motobatt I want to explore the idea of using the carcass from the old battery as a holder for a smaller new battery. The excess space within the carcass could be used for storage. I know it presents the problem of an extra electrical connection point that can fail and any troubleshooting would have to be done with that in mind but that little space could be used as a document safe etc. Has anyone here tried that?
Other question is wether the smaller new design batteries will receive the proper charge from the airheads charging system or do they require a more sophisticated can bus etc type system?
Edit- Feck it, I can't be arsed fooling around with this project while having a dead battery, so I'll get the motobatt and work on the carcass idea later but any suggestions are wellcome.
