What is the function of the battery? Does it spin a starter,
or what?


Chris,your f-ing top posting is a PITA;
the OPs text doesn't show when I reply to your post.

Plus it destroys the readibility of the whole thread,and is NOT Usenet
convention.

news ....am trying to find a replacement (read: cheap) for a
....generator battery.

....it's a sealed deep cycle type and about the size of a
....motorcycle battery.

....will any kind do and would any marine non-gel battery work
....as long as the dimension
....(inside gen coverpanel) are a fit ?

I doubt you will find any "marine non-gel" SLAs the size of a motorcycle
battery.Nobody runs a marine L-A battery that small.
Yours is probably a 20 AH glassmat SLA gel cell.

....are there some do's and dont's in buying these types of
....batteries?

Isn't there a manufacturer and part number on the original battery?

Or you take the old battery with you to the store so a clerk can cross-
reference it to what they carry.
