Title: Double-checking replacement battery before I buy :)
Post by: probedb on September 17, 2018, 09:12:54 am

Can I just double check this is the Varta battery that people recommend? Just checking as the height is 15mm taller than the one that Tanya show as a replacement.

Thanks :) It's the Honda OEM one.

From the picture it looks different. But the specs that are given match the following.

This is the one which was recommended when I changed mine a year or so ago:

Cheers, yeah I think it's an OEM branded Varta rather than with Varta branding :)
