2020 Battery size

[ramble]

After reviewing Mfg's websites and info here I have concluded that the taller Exide OEM battery is replaced by the shorter one 5.57 in. vs 5 7/8 tall, and that the available co's are supplying the group size 14 with a adapter for underneath the make up the manufacturer's change. Westco does not make one for the 2020. Please advise if you know of a battery that is the same size as the OEM and available in the US.

I responded to your PM, but for others that might be wondering I put an Interstate Battery in my 2018 R1200RT, pretty certain it was this one, https://www.interstatebatteries.com/products/cytx20ch-bs# I believe it is manufactured by Yuasa as the appearance, dimensions and specs are the same.

What I found was Yuasa GYX16H. A perfect fit for the OEM. $139.

I've said this in the past but the battery of choice for me is Yuasa YTX20CH-BS. It fit perfect in my 14R1200RT and the current RT calls for the same OEM battery. The CCA is 270

The original battery on my 2018 RT is now 5 years old. I've taken care of it and it's still strong. The YTX20CH-BS is on my shelf waiting for it's turn. Not yet activated, by the way.

The Interstate battery I linked is the same dimensions, but 270 CCA instead of 240 for the GYX16
