750 Battery Query
Evening all
Is a 750 battery different from a 600 or 900? I’ve gone to purchase a new battery and been told they do batteries for 600 and 900 but due to terminal placement they don’t for the 750. |

The only difference I’m aware of is that the earlier batteries are vertical, behind the carbs, and the later ones are horizontal, so should be the same as M900 of same year, so long as not injected.

Pretty sure the 600, 750 & 900 all have the same frame, battery box & tank etc. so I can't see there being any difference in battery fitment?

I seem to remember that if you have the terminals towards you the + is on the left for the 750, but on the right for the 900. That is the BS rather than the A2 terminal configuration.
I may be hallucinating or just suffering early senility. OK everyone rush out and have a look!!

Without looking I can tell you that the +ve terminal is on the right hand side of the bike on a 900.
It would be just crazy to have it the other way given the position of the solenoid and engine Earth point. Hope you're not wasting your money on something other than a Motobatt Miky?

With Motobatt you get to fit the terminals where you want them anyway?

Yeah. I fitted mine in the kitchen, but you can't swap the terminals round though!

Mine have sockets on all four corners to which you attach two terminals with Allen screws (Provided), so yes, you can swap the terminals around depending whether you use the front sockets or the back ones.

As for the 4 post, I have a 32ah Motobatt on the Guzzi that has 4 terminals to allow more versatility in fitting and they also make that one in black.
