I looked at going with a smaller battery, and decided not to. The capacity rating (in Ahr) of the li-ion motorcycle batteries is pretty low (3 to 4?). Leave the head lights on for 15-20 min and your stuck. (Assuming the headlights draw 20amps or so.). And just the headlights is a kind of a...

It may... The 56 is still a relatively narrow battery (6 1/8") whereas most of the batteries are approx 7". So a universal hold down may work. I ordered a few different hold downs to try out. I want to find the best fit. I also ordered some acid neutralizing absorbing mat since the tray...

@BrockWI - nice write-up. Thanks for pointing me to it. The Size 56 battery has the posts much closer to the sides than the Rogue battery, did you have any trouble with the bundle of wires. On mine, the battery is now pushing the bundle of cables out of the way a little. But it's just a...

Yeah, they aren't super rare, I'm actually down in Corvallis and I had a few options, but not everybody had it. And, I couldn't get the Optima without ordering it and that's what I really wanted.

Hi Guys, The 12v Battery on my 2013 S died suddenly earlier this week, and I tried a number of alternatives to the weird size battery Nissan put in the car. Eventually I settled on a slightly larger (Group 56) battery. It fits in the same spot as the OEM battery (there is a lot of room) but...

I am going to disagree vehemently. You show me the voltage drop of a 14ga extension cord over 50' for 11amps, convert that to heat and show me that it's dangerous, and I'll relent. The standard charger draws 11.5ish amps. 14ga is fine for that current. Contractors use 100' 14ga extension...

I know this is old, but I wanted to correct some bad info in the previous reply. GFCI protection works with an extension cord as well. In fact, now days, many houses use GFCI circuit breakers to protect a number of outlets at once. So you will be safe plugging the brick into an extension cord...
