Just wondering what would happen if I installed a small automotive battery instead of the crappy yuasa std battery. Would it hurt any of the electrical components or possibly not take a charge. Or other concerns? Just looking at that large empty area under the driver seat and thinking I could put a larger battery in it???? Help please! 2008 std. RZR with a dead battery..........

there are many many posts on this subject. You can read for hours about batteries for rzr's. I myself just put it a wal-mart special. I don't know how long it will last but i'm willing to give it a try. you'll find the most popular on here will be the Odyssey or the Optima. I believe the odyssey fits in the stock battery box and the optima needs an aftermarket battery box.

I was thinking more in the line of a larger lawn mower battery. I've been running off road bikes, atv's and more without a sealed battery for "years" without a problem and I think the RZR handles the bumps better than the atv's. JMO
Anyone try a larger lawn and garden battery? Thought perhaps it would help handle the extra lighting and winch???
