Default R1 Battery

Right, tried searching but it appears I can't find it, seems to pick up every post with the word R1 or battery in it.

Was it the R1 or R6 battery thats been recomend as a alternative to fit in the SV if you have to trim your shock to fit, due to its much smaller size.

No idea about the size difference. But it does give a wee bit more juice (harder to crank an R1 obviously).

Least you've got somewhere to start now

Is this actually neccessary? I just put my old battery back in with the fuses / relays on top like before. Battery was raised up on foam blocks to prevent it sitting on the shock's reservoir. Seat goes on no problemo, so what's the issue here?
