I got an RZMoto RB10L-BS battery as a replacement for the OEM YB10L-A2 battery on my bike, but it seems to be too tall. I almost fits, but the slightly-extruding plastic in the middle of the airbox blocks the battery from sliding in all the way. I thought it was weird that it's such a tight fit considering that the OEM battery follows the same specs as the replacement.
Check it out: this is from the GS450E service manual:
This is OEM: https://www.yuasabatteries.com/battery/yb10l-a2/
The dimensions are: 135mm x 90mm x 145mm
RZMoto RB10L-BS battery on eBay (archive.is so people in the future can find this): https://archive.ph/uLLcJ
The dimensions are: 135mm x 90mm x 145mm (?2mm)
What's going on here? Is the height on the YB10L-A2 battery less than its specs indicate it to be? I am hesitant to order another battery online since the RB10L-BS was supposed to fit. I could take it to an auto parts store and find something smaller, but I feel like I shouldn't have to do this.
And yes, I am putting the battery box and air box back together the way it should be. Could I somehow have the wrong battery holder? The holder itself fits without problems and seems to be original.
