Welcome to the forum!  Sounds like a decent battery, but maybe you should message the seller for the dimensions before you order it. |

From the eBay page...
length 150mm = 5.90"
width 87mm = 3.425"
height 94mm = 3.700
So looks like a good fit. The only caution would be that gel cell's are nice and canlast a long time...if you have a good charging system, or a smart charger for winter storage that uses the correct "float" voltage, which is a bit lower than quick charge voltage.
Otherwise, the extra cost is for nothing. Gel cell batteries lives are shortened by overcharging, undercharging and high operating temperatures.

I looked on that page, even under the shipping and payments tab and didn't see those specs. Where did you find them? |

I clicked the link and scrolled down...this is what I saw:  May be confusing, but I am used to seeing China advertising/specs...the numbers are right, but given in millimeters. I added the inch equivalents in my post, as I have used metrics since I was young...mostly makes more sense. |

We have learned much over the years. Much about things gone by the way side, so only important historically. THis site is run by a Swiss guy who is a battery expert and does research, application studies and such for business. He paints a decent picture of "use" and "need" for various batteries. The purchase cost is not really addressed much in his writings. I think if you you look at the chart he provides, you might see that, for scooters, the lead acid battery is still the best answer...but you can decide for yourself, if you care to read and resource your battery needs. batteryuniversity.com/learn/archive/whats_the_best_batteryI like the effort! |
