My SLA is only 7 or 8 AH but it is good enough to spin a 50cc like mad. It fit in the OEM battery box. The SLA batteries will provide more starting current than a normal wet cell lead/acid battery of equivalent Amp Hours. They also don't suffer from corroded terminals. I converted my battery wires to F2, .25", 1/4" terminals. The first SLA I used was a reject from a UPS system that would not pass a battery test and was replaced. It worked for a long time on the scoot then I replaced it just for fun.

Brooooo I would not do this unless you aren't running a charging system. Happypancake (I think) had a lithium ion and it caught fire, I would carry a fire extinguisher. Really, I would go back to a "normal" batt. Not me. That was lilpinney who’s ruck went up in flames Oops Still tho |
