12.5v has been pretty common. Also, reference the temperature of the battery case (ambient) so we can calculate the State of Charge %.

 

Thanks for posting your experience! :thumbsup:

 

12.88v @ approx 50F

Battery fit fine, although tight. I used some M6x15mm socket head (Allen) bolts I had instead of the M6x12mm buttonheads that came with the battery. There's a 5mm Allen wrench in my tool kit under the seat and I can get to the screw on the negative side with it if I need to make a roadside repair. The longer bolt allowed me to get all four cables attached to the battery easily. The button head may have worked but I think I like the extra thread of the longer one.
