smallest battery

[bsimmons330]

i have a honda cb350 and i'm only gonna run a headlight and tail light and was wondering what the smallest size battery i could run thanks

I have not had one of these, but, if it is able to run by kick only with no battery, you could get a 12volt that is actually four aa size that are wrapped in shrunk plastic, yet rechargeable, like for a rechargeable drill, etc. You might want to toggle switch your headlight to keep from draining a small battery too fast! I found out how fast a battery that is very small runs out if you have a bad rotor and stator along with a headlight on!!! One of my sohc cb750s ran for about three minutes till it ran out of electricity!

trailer break away battery works great and can be mounted in any direction

Smallest, lightest 'legit" cycle battery is probably the Shorai. 3 1/2" hi x 4 1/2" W x 2 1/4" d
Expen$ive little bastard, 'tho.

I've installed a couple of these for customers:
A 4-cell on a CB400 and an 8-cell for an '04 Triumph

I've heard of a lot of people running 12v rc car style batteries. Can be mounted anywhere and not much bigger than a pack of smokes. Kick only though
