My battery charger is telling me the battery of my 2013 821 is nearing replacement time and I suspect it is the original. Looking online, I note that MotoBatt versions, which have done well for me on other bikes, are listed as 12AH or 14AH. Any advice on whether both will fit? I'm not interested in Li batteries...

Hi Nick.
Oddly, the only ref to battery capacity I found was in the owners manual (p.219)- which states 10Ah.
Then searched for Ducati part 39520132C - and Yuasa YT12B-BS comes up which I guessed would be 12, but no, that is 10Ah

The more Ah it can hold, the better in my view if it will physically fit in there.
But CCA - cold cranking amps is a more useful number - How many Amps it can delivery on start-up.

12 years on the factory battery is good going.
 
Hi Alan,
Thanks for that, and my thoughts exactly. If, when Spring arrives and my HS is back on the road, it starts to show any weakness, I'll look into the possibilities. If the original is a Yuasa, it won't surprise me it has lasted. I had a Honda NTV 650 with a Yuasa that did twice as long!
 
Hi Nick.
Did you get anywhere with researching an upgrade battery that would replace the stock 150 x 69 x 130mm YT12b?
Mine is starting to feel 'less keen' lately, though the volts are still ok.
 
Hi Alan,
Sorry, nothing more to add at this stage. The bikes are really only art objects to be admired at the moment until the weather improves and the roads are clear of mud and/or salt. Doesn't stop me fantasising about newer models though; I'm wondering if a Duke Scrambler 1100 might suit me well, not that I'd want to ditch the HS and ST4 or the rest!
 
Cheers Nick.
You do right. Roads are filthy horrible at the mo.
Scrambler 1100? Mmm.
I'm slightly surprised they still made an air-head Ducati so late. But, yes - you most definitely deserve one, in my view!

If I find any battery news, I'll post here.
Later'
