What type of battery?

I was wondering what batteries you guys were using out there for the CA77 Dreams. I had bought a Yuasa 12N39A and while it works and fits in the case. It doesnt allow for the support bracket or the side cover to be put back on. So I can get on the bike but its exposed for one and for 2 the bike doesnt look complete. I'm trying to find out if there is a current manufactured battery on the market anywhere. I came across a lithium battery but wasnt sure how that would play on the electrical system. I had found a NOS Wisco JB-2 battery that was the correct fit but I missed out on it on Ebay. I'm hoping that maybe we can compile a list of known and successful fits. I just dont want to have to change the original dynamics on the bike just to make the battery fit.

I have tried for years with two different (expert?) battery suppliers to find an alternative to the JB-2. no luck. I'm thinking the next time I am in need I will look into the Li-ion as they can be quite a bit smaller and still have the juice.

Email the ebay guy and he'll probably sell you a JB-2 or put up an auction for you. TheGreatRandolpho is the guy I bought a couple from that way.

Is the JB-2 the size of an early or late battery?

Did the battery covers change in size to accommodate the different sizes? If so, what year did that happen?

The JB-2 is an early battery. The battery change occured at frame 1010863 to the 12N9-3A battery. The cover changed accordingly at the same time.

and it charges up with any trickle charger. or you can buy their expensive one that supposedly makes the battery last a lot longer.
