Need a cheap new battery?

In my haste to purchase a battery for my 500 I ended up getting one too small (bloody internet). Im guessing the code was for a non electric start? Anyway the code for this battery is CB18L-A. Given I really do want to use the starter Im going to sell it and get the right one (yuasha 53030- I have now been reliably informed!!). It was purchased, filled with acid and charged up 4 weeks ago and has then sat on the bike whilst I got annoyed at myself. It cost £50 but willing to let you have it for £25. I am willing to drive a reasonable distance to exchange it for some cash. Im in SE london (Forest Hill). Hopefully you need a new battery and get a good deal, and I get £25 towards the right sized one! Please pm me and I can send photo of battery and receipt as im struggling to resize the photos to stay within the forum limit.
Best regards
Keith MM

Buy a battery based on cranking amps, not capacity. A Hawker Odyssey or a Motobatt will crank much better for a given size.
