I am replacing the rusted out battery box, and I want to use a new 12v battery that is somewhat stock in size and appearance. It looks like the size is close to a Group 25 (about 9 x 7 x 8hi).
Trouble is, seems like most 12v batteries have the posts very far outboard compared to their 6v cousins. In fact, the lip on my all-around hold-down cover would touch both posts. Not good.
So, apart from grinding out a safety zone in the hold-down, what other options are there? Is there a reasonably priced battery that will fit w/o modification? Thanks.
