New Battery

[chris laws]

Hi guys I have a kubota l1801dt compact and need to purchase a new battery the old one has no information on it and am not sure what to buy

Get dimensions of battery (L X W X H) and positive post position (Left or right) and x-reference it to chart of known battery sizes...

BCI Battery Group Size Chart

Knowing exact BCI group battery size helps finding new battery replacement, however, knowing just BCI group size is often not enough...

What @DL Meisen writes is good. What I do is I try to find the biggest battery (CCA number) that physically fits in the existing space. I have found that most tractors and farm stuff has a little more room than what the OEM battery is using. So, taking the size space I can measure, I turn to the Battery Group Size Chart, make sure terminals locations work, and find what can fit. Then I look for that size or sizes that a battery seller has available. My objective is to get the highest CCA so the battery always has more to give than necessary - which correlates directly to battery life for me.

Two years ago I went from the OEM battery on my 2009 Kubota M6040 to an Odyssey AGM battery. I had to really dig into my Op manual but finally found that it was a group 31 battery.

Minus any references in your Op manual - what D L Meisen says - post#2 - is the way to go.

Yep, I do the same. I shove the largest battery that it will fit in the compartment. Always check to make sure the +/- are on the right sides though...
