Hi,

I'd like to replace my OEM battery, cause it died. I'm looking at Shorai website and I see 2 compatible batteries:
1. LFX18L1-BS12 5.83x4.13x2.6", weight 2.19 lbs, price $154
2. LFX21L6-BS12 5.83x5.51x3.23", weight 3.03 lbs, price $187

The replacement battery YTX14L-BS is 6x5.75x3.44", weight 9.34 lbs, price $47

Looks like number 2 is closer in dimensions to the SLA battery. Should I buy it?

Here's the one that I purchased.
Make sure to read the part about contacting Shorai (Shawn).

Why is this important? It's more expensive to buy from them, and not from a reseller.
