[Ducati] Which Battery To Get?

[Alex]

The YTZ7s is a good track day battery.  It only has 6Ah and 130CCA, 
though, so if your bike is a slow starter, it will not cut it.  You 
probably have 3-4 cold starts with the YTZ7s and around 10 cold 
starts with the YB16AL (16Ah and 200CCA).  The gel version probably 
12-13 cold starts and if it compares with the PC680, it has around 300 CCA.

If you are doing track days or if your bike starts on the first crank 
every time, I think the YTZ is a great choice.  It is about half the 
weight of the stock battery too.  I've heard some racers move it 
under the rear of the seat.
