Replacement Battery recommendations
I have searched and really haven't found a definitive answer
2014-2017 RT /Liquid Cooled Wethead
Which aftermarket battery has the best Fitment besides OEM? Without modifying anything.
Thankyou in advance for Your replies

Re: Replacement Battery recommendations
Unless something changes, I'm going to buy a MotoBatt MBYZ16HD from Tayna Batteries. (Probably in March).
The specs say it will fit, give more cold cranking amps and cost less than a replacement battery bought from my local BMW dealer.
I hope you'll let us know what you decide on and how it fits.

Re: Replacement Battery recommendations
The OP is looking for recommendations for a replacement battery to fit a 2014-2017 R1200RT.
I'm going to replace my bike's battery, and you'll see from my identifier that my R1200RT is a 2017 model year.
It is very important to be clear what bike you have since air cooled versions had very different batteries.

Re: Replacement Battery recommendations
Use a Yuasa battery as they are a great battery and one of the few that actually make their own, not sell one made to spec and then some label wrapped on it.

Re: Replacement Battery recommendations
I just installed this battery. I can confirm the dimensions are Exactly the same as the OEM Exide battery
I paid $110 out the door

Thanks for the update.
I hope you get many years of good service from the new battery.

Thanks
The battery was readily available, local, 1 year warranty, more cold cranking amps, and somewhat cheaper than the OEM

Given the dimensions (170mm x 99mm x 155mm), I'm guessing it's too big to fit in a RT later than 2013. The dimensions need to be within 150 x 90 x 160.
I tried to find an Odyssey battery suitable for my bike but they don't seem to make one.
