Battery replacement - Gel or sealed type ?
I need to replace the original battery on my curvey (8 years and 35000 miles is quite good though!). My question is, does it have to be a gel type or fully sealed, as the battery is mounted at an angle?

Re: Battery replacement - Gel or sealed type ?
The original isn't a gel battery - it's a normal lead acid battery, only sealed. Unless you've got it near flat a sealed battery will be fine.
