[QUOTE="peterg, post: 12084, member: 446"] Howdy Mike, Mercy, painful to even contemplate, it'd been my luck to have some of the loose bits burst the primary case outward. Here's a thought on getting a 20% amperage jump using only one battery. If you take just the cup portion of a one inch hole saw and run it around the inside floor of that Exide rubber case and grind off those lead plate support ribs cast into it, it yields enough head room to run this Po[URL="http://www.powersonic.com/site/doc/prod/73.pdf"]wersonic PS6100 12.0 AH[/URL] unit (or Werker equivalent if you shop at Batteries Plus) standing vertical on edge. I have a rubber pad on either side and one on the end to space the spade terminals top section off the box wall a tad. Now old and timid, I like to run a DRL (daytime running light) but not waste any capacity on speedo lights/tailight - which is LED so actually immaterial anyway - so if you have a 4 pole original Miller headlamp switch or even the new VOCS repop, you can wire your headlight on the CH pole which is the first detent. As the brass tumbler is striped, it'll remain on for the high setting, activating the other lights though you'll need to wire a dimmer switch on your bars. [/QUOTE]
