Yuasa battery out of stock

[EdMat]

I just purchased this (MMG-6) for our shop F3. A bit spendy. But I've found a lot to like about these batteries. I was looking for a low maintenance solution that would last longer than the Yuasa AGM's I had been purchasing.

420 CCA as compared to the ODM battery's 350 CCA.
3 lbs. as opposed to over 17 lbs.
Lithium should last longer than AGM. Especially in a less than daily used machine.
Quad terminals make it a universal fit.

Ron, how was the fit compared to stock? Spacers needed and included? Looks like a deal at $215.

I have not installed the new one yet. Spacers were included for both the GS and this one. So it should go smoothly. I assume that since the battery is housed in the frunk. The lighter weight will increase the carry capacity by about 15 lbs..

Isn't the battery supported by the frame? I'd like to think the lithium battery I installed would improve the frunk carrying capacity but I'm not sure.

You're probably correct. 15lbs. is the weight capicity as labeled on our F3. Since the battery isn't actually IN the frunk, the lighter weight may not get me any advantage there.
