IMZ Ural Boards - Ural Battery Replacement
When it comes time to replace your Ural’s battery, what should you do? If you want to change to a different brand of battery, what should you choose? Here are some suggestions:
My 2003.5 GU has the Varta YB18LA that is about used up. I have seen references to the Interstate YTX20L-BS, but Interstate site only shows CYTX20L-BS that is an AGM battery that is 270 cca, 6 1/8 tall vs. my 6 1/2. They also show a YB18L-A cycletron that is 235 cca. Not alot of choices where I live, so Interstate is my best bet. What replacement battery are you guys finding the best in Interstate?

I know others use the Interstate but I strongly recommend that any Ural rider consider the Odyssey battery. It costs a bit more but it is an AGM type battery that easily holds its charge for months and has a typical service life of more than 5 years. Can’t do much better than that.
