does anyone know the size of battery needed to work on the ds? the battery on the ktm 525 is a y something 4 and the ds calls for a y15, the amp hour are big different the 4 was at 4 or 5 and the 15 was at 13, wondering if that small battery would smoke the starter? well the weight difference was about 7 pounds. that is the reason for the question.

I switched to an Odyessy pc-545 because it's a dry cell and you can mount it sideways and more cranking power.
