potential AUX battery option
many of you (like myself) have tried and had great success with the ACDelco 14-BS auxiliary battery
ACDelco ATX14BS (14-BS) Maintenance Free Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) Powersport Battery $58 - but it's usually sold out, because you guys buy them all up LOL
this looks to be another match for the AUX Battery - and cheaper!
ACDelco ATX14LBS (14L-BS) Maintenance Free Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) Powersport Battery $40
Brand ACDelco
Item Weight 10.5 pounds
Product Dimensions 5.9 x 3.4 x 5.8 inches
Item model number ATX14LBS
Manufacturer Part Number ATX14LBS
OEM Part Number 88863879
What I see different - is the vent (none) and polarity setup (opposite)
I wonder if you can just mount it 180 degrees from how you use the original ?
it's only $40 - but same size, amperage, etc as the $58 one

Besides the posts being reversed, he battery should work. There is no vent to worry about which side of the battery it would be located on. Once you "flip" the battery around I am not too sure the cables would reach.

You could purchase and "dry" fit the battery since I am pretty sure that you have to add the acid after you receive it. If it does not fit, them you could return it and get the correct one. Please report to us on what you do/did.
