Battery replacement

Bluesteel · Oct 25, 2018

Has anyone replaced the battery on their XR yet? Curious if you went through LS or replaced with an aftermarket. The size appears to be critical due to how its mounted. Thanks.

Measure your battery, and go to Wally World!

yes, there are only 3 or 4 battery manufacturers, but the vast majority are made by Johnson Controls (I think that's the parent company name, or very similar) and branded differently.

I have the measurements. The tolerances are tight. The battery partially sits down in a tray and has a hold down bracket over the top. The measurements are not common such as a series 24. I have cross referenced it to a New Holland Boomer battery. We have a New Holland dealer close by. Just curious if any others had found one that fit. The battery that came in it is Rocket. NAPA couldn't cross reference it. Neither could Interstate.

Put a NAPA 7524 battery in. I wasn't sure if it would fit but ended up fitting just fine. So if anyone needs to replace their battery this one will work or can be used as a cross reference as long as the dimensions are the same.
