Hi all,
I am looking for suggestions for what kinds of battery I need.
I am having problems starting up my r50x. I suspect it is an electrical issue, because first I was only able to start 'er by kick start, and then I couldn't even do that. The engine starts to turn, but not enough juice goes to the engine is my suspicion because the headlights generate only a very dim glare. Anyway, because my battery appears to be continually losing its max charge in non-load readings, I figured why not just buy a replacement, and do the same with the park plug and test each one to see which one (if any) was the cause.
Which brand or type of battery do I need? And what are some preferred sites that wont charge me an arm and a leg? If there is a general kind of battery that is made by different manufacturers, all the better. I already consulted with the parts manual (here:
http://www.cobrasales.com/docs/TGB%20R50X%20-%20Owners%20Manual.pdf), but that only tells me that I need one that is 12V 4AH. Are there any other considerations I must take into account? i don't want to order a 12V 4AH battery, only to find it is too big for my r50x, or that it is meant only for lawnmowers or some such.
Tx!!
