looking for battery on my laverda 750 SF1

when I put my 750 back on the road this summer I fitted a YTX20L-BS, small but seems to do a good job and sealed jobby
 
this one fired up my 3CL after 12 years like it was nothing.. weighs 2 lbs...

when I built my Egli, I struggled to find a secret place for the batterry, in the end I used a tiny one from a Honda 400/4, and housed it in a pair of engine brackets between the rear greabox mounts, it never gave me any kind of problem or life issues, and yes I was useing a starter motor, it surprised me and I realy did wonder why Moto Laverda fitted such a fii3?ng great thing in the first place.

I spoke with Beppe Andrighetto from Braganze, he told me that on my Laverda 750 SF1 1973 i need at least a  25AH battery, better if it comes in 30AH. He gives me some dimensional limits for fits the battery in the case, such as 170mm x 170mm x 75mm.
Could anyone provide me a code for a good battery with these features?
thanks
 
Been using 16 or 18 AH in my twins for years. No problems concerning starting even after a few months layup without charging. No issue with battery durability either. The vibes usually kill them anyhow.

Do you mean 170 long x 170 wide x 75 high?  That's a strange shape for a battery box. Even if 75 is the width, it's still unusual. That's a very flat battery (no pun intended)
Are you sure you have the correct dimensions? Perhaps someone with a SF1 could confirm.

I can't find anything in the Deka or Odyssey range that would fit that space.
Motobatt MBT14B4 is 150 x 70 x 145 (L x W x H) which is about as close as you'll get. But it's only 12 AH.
They're AGM technology (not liquid electrolyte) so you can mount them in any orientation.
They're available on ebay. Just search for MOTOBATT MBT14B4.

I very much doubt you'll get a 25 AH battery to fit that small space.

Cheers,
Cam
