battery size problem

Remove and measure your current battery.
Take measurements to Walmart,  auto parts store, Amazon. ....buy best you can afford.
Work from measurement,  not a chart for sure results.

Oh I see, I thought they would be a universal size.  I guess I'll have to open the seat up again.

Thank you!

EDIT:  Figured it out.

Twice now I have ordered a replacement battery for my 2016 Kymco Downtown 300i scooter and got the wrong size - physically too big .
Both times the battery was listed by the seller, Battery Clerk, as the appropriate size battery.
Where can I find and order the correct size?

So far I am still nursing the original battery along with lots of trickle charging, but that is not going to last much longer.

I actually had the opposite problem in that the original battery simply wasnt large enough (2011 DT300i) and did NOT want to start on hot days.
I read through many threads from others who had the same issue and posts were made regarding resetting the TPS, checking valve clearance, voltage etc and then one day a guy who was about to give up bought himself a battery that was oversize, he cut some of the plastic to make it fit and his problem went away.
I followed suit and my problem with starting on really hot days went away too.

Try your dealer, OEM stuff fits and works!

There's not many Kymco OEM dealers.  You're better off using the Yuasa website to size your battery.

Best bet after 67 years of doing this---your dealer.

Wallyworld and Orielly auto parts both carry motorcycle batteries,  just take your old battery in and get the same size like Stig suggested would be the easiest.
