Can anyone tell me what the standard battery is for a DB1 and it's dimentions?
Mine is stuffed and I want to buy a new one... but I don't hav the time right now to take the old one out and I would like to have the new one to go right back in.
Regards

Cant for the life of me find where I found out what battery for DB1 when I needed one....as no type or size stated in the owners manual or spare parts diagrams,,,,,,I bought and used a Yuasa YB16AL-A2...12 volts, 16Ah....200A CCA.....207mm length, 71.5mm width...Height inc terms 164mm

I understand your need....as its a pain to remove and replace...Oil coller off...horn off...evidently tank and bodywork before then...and the battery tray needs to be dropped out and battery put in it to refit....

Original battery is a Yuasa YB14L-A2
Suggest you change to an Ultrabatt LI Ion - 3 multiMighty blocks - 1/2 the size and 1/3 the weight

I replaced the lead acid battery in my DB1 with a Dekka gel battery in 2006. That Dekka battery is just starting to give problems after 9 years use; very impressive. Not sure whether I will hunt down another Dekka battery or simply fit a readily available Motobatt.
