#1 | OEM Battery Specifications Needed datum

Sat Jul 11, 2020 7:24 pm

When looking to bookmark replacement parts, I like to stick with brands I like. My last bike had a Big Crank battery that was going strong long after its install date. Being so impressed, I wanted to go this way on the RS. I�m wondering if anyone has the specs on the OEM battery installed by BMW so I can compare.

https://www.motorworks.co.uk/vlive/Shop/...=BA_15_36_IA_10 shows the battery for the RS and gives the OE code 61218394179

dimensions in mm but using 25.4mm to the inch, the battery you have found seems to be the same size and more CCA.

Tayna gives similar https://www.tayna.co.uk/search/REG%3A%20vo66%20exw saying a YTX14-BS is the fitment

East Penn Mfg aka Deka

To my knowledge, both East Penn and yuasa-exide evolved from the original Exide Battery Co.
