Hello,
I have a Norton Commando Roadster 850 MK2A 1975 that has an Alton Starter fitted and runs off a Motobatt MB9U battery ( 11 Amps )
I need to upgrade to a better battery, but i am restricted to the smaller battery tray that is fitted to the MK 2A.
Can anyone recommend a battery with a higher Amp rating that will fit the tray.

thanks Neil.

Shorai batteries are much smaller and should fit.

A bigger battery is going to be ... bigger. Do you have 1/2 inch more in length?
This is what I'm using with my e-start -
