Battery for 2015 R1200RT

The BMW battery (Exide) is very expensive and a tight fit.
What other battery(ies) can fit into that space?
Dean, I got Yuasa YTX20CH-BS it's also tight but at a much better price point and a better battery CCA

What is the manurfacturer and model number?

I've used Shorei, but there are several. The retailer would have the specific bike part number. I cannot wait to put one in my Wethead.

Hi,
Not my post but the one I'm planning on buying when mine goes.
"I recently purchased and installed this battery from batterymart.com. It is nearly identical to the OEM in my 2014 R1200RT. Battery terminals are the same and in the same place. Dimensions are the same. I think that this is a very good replacement for the original. AGM technology and 2 more AH than the stocker. $89.95 delivered to my door! They list it as YTX20CH-BS AGM http://www.batterymart.com/SEARCH.html?q=ytx20ch-bs"

Always amazed at this comment. Have you ever seen a Lithium battery fire? Do you want to trust that will never happen directly under you seat or gas tank?

That thought has certainly crossed my mind as well... I think the weight penalty of the old school battery might be worth it.

I support my dealer vigorously as well. It is one of the few exclusive BMW-only dealers left in the United States and I want it to be successful.
