I spoke at the Victorian meet about the maintenenace free battery I had.

In my senility I thought I had paid a lot less for it than it really cost. It was $160 after GST. $45 dearer than the heavy duty one I was after, but the guy in the shop talked me into it.

Here are the specs :

http://www.allpurposebatteries.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=16_32&products_id=145

It has 22AH, so a bit more than the 18AH that you talked about Fred.

It has some really nice fittings on the top and comes with adapter so you can top mount the leads or side mount them.

It has been really good for me so far and the extra power is probably well worth the additional $45 on an RH with no kickstart option.

I got mone from here:  http://www.independantbattery.com.au/contact/index.html

They were happy to knock the price down a bit and the guy really seemed to know his stuff.
