Maybe but in my experience (for reliable starting) an old Guzzi engine needs a big battery - mine has a 32Ah Motobatt that weighs 10kg and I need to keep it fully charged because due to the starter mechanism (starter on the flywheel, like a car) it needs good cranking power to get it going and I'm not sure that a modern/fangled/miniature battery will have the necessary oompf? and that Motobatt's not going under the seat hump...
