Title: Universal Battery UB12220
Post by: badbmwbrad on May 16, 2012, 05:55:30 AM

Available for $41.00.  I have one installed in my R65LS and just ordered a second one for my R75/5 (long wheelbase). It also fits an R1100RS oilhead.

Does anyone know the CCA rating on this 22 amp-hour battery?

Unfortunately, they don't list that type of information on the website .

I've got one in the '02 oilhead and it cranks the engine over in temps of upper 30's F. with no problem .

Price has gone up since you last purchased one, it's now around $50US, still better than other AGM type batteries .

Just ordered one of these batteries, don't know how long it will last, but batteries live a tough life in this incessant desert heat .
