Is the battery ground on the positive or negative side? Is putting a SEALED Battery in Sideways (Stand it on End) OK?
• As per some of the battery models, I do NOT advise placing the battery sideways – they do have (sealed) vents, and they WILL leak if overcharged. I’ve used too many of the larger MF car batteries in boats and generators to believe that they are completely leak-proof. Superior, but not perfect. NEVER put in a NON-SEALED Battery Sideways. OK thats a great list but I cant find any of those in my home town. What CRITERIA should I be looking for in a battery for the F? There seems to be some confusion about batteries that fit the F. I have a list of batteries someone posted, but I don’t know for sure if they are suitable. Well, you can’t beat a good Yuasa! Criteria should be: • Voltage: 12 volts. Obvious, but they do make 6v batteries. For a bike that seems to have a higher VR output of 15v, a gel-cell that tolerates higher charging voltages might be nice if you could find one that fits. (Think of things in terms of water pipes – volts is like pressure in psi, amperage is like the size of
