Q: I have a scooter with a 9bs battery. It drains after a while because of my HID lights. I was thinking of replacing it with a 14-BS battery but a 14A-A2 is much cheaper. I was wondering what the difference was. They're both 12 volt batteries and the physical size is not much of a difference. My Scooter is a 12 Volt. Thanks for the answers guys.
A: They are essentially the same as far as being powersports, 12 volt batteries. The 14-BS is maintenance free and requires no activation or initial charging. The 14A-A2 MUST be activated and then charged. In other words, you have to open the battery and add the lead-acid, close and seal the battery, then charge it. I would highly suggest you get the ready to go 14-BS battery.
