Battery issue -998

#1 (**permalink**) 11-11-2004, 07:37 PM

Does anyone know if there is any variation on the batteries used on 996s and 998s? I have to replace the battery on my 998 and looking around online I see prices listed for Yuasa 62-YU-2 batteries (which is the same battery listed as a replacement for 999s). I can't imagine why there would be any difference for a 998, but thought I'd ask before I bought. Can anyone confirm that a Yuasa 62-YU-2 is a suitable replacement battery for a 998?

DucSea put a Yuasu YT12BBS in my 998. That's the battery I found on all the app sheets too.

I have the same problem to replace my battery .
On the yuasa site (http://www.yuasabatteries.com/batter...=B168&vID=4970), it is indicated to take the YT12BBS one. But there is a warning "hold down must be modified to accept battery". What does it mean (inverted leads,...)? Do I have to change something to adapt the battery ?

On the battery bracket you have to bend the tabs up for this battery to fit..no big deal.
