Generac Generator recommended this size to replace a 12 Volt, 9 ah - but this new battery is too tall.Can I just use wire in the bolt holes to secure

can't see your project from here---i prefer plumbers tape over wire for straping--using the bolt holes w/ bolts to hold the tape---

As long as it will hold the battery firmly in place, you can use heavy wire. Add an extra wrap of wire for extra security if there's enough room. Make sure that the wire won't touch the terminals if the battery happens to move. Apply plenty of insulation, like electrical tape around each terminal and secure it with a zip-tie so it doesn't unravel.

no. you can use a higher mha (milli amp hour) 18 volt battery....but not a higher voltage. The saw motor runs on 18 volts..period. But, the neat thing is that batteries are bigger and smaller based on their ability to hold more or less charge...that measurement is called mha. Think about car batteries...they turn HEAVY torque car starters on 12 volt batteries...with HUGE mha. That mha is why car batteries are so big.

I can't help you on that.I gave my old 18 volt away without tring.Take your 18 volt to a Lowe's or Home Depot and try the fit.Explain why you are doing this.Best I can do for you friend.

This is a 12V battery, but for running even a small winch that still pulls ~40 amps I'd go for a bigger battery. This one is rated for 18 amp-hour (hinting it'll supply 18 amps for 1 hour, or 9 amps for 2 hours, etc) and I don't think it's a good idea to pull more than that 18 amp rating for more than a few seconds (like to crank a car).

If the mounting system is the same size this would be a great replacement as it stores twice as much energy. The voltage difference is so minimal it means nothing, The batteries are only .2 volts apart. Think of like buying a little battery for your car versus a large battery. The are both 12 volt but one has more storage capacity.

I used 18 and 16 wire size. I didn't like the screws that are used to hold the wire. Not well made. I use this for my Kayak battery to run my fish finder.

You can do this but it will take a long time to fully charge. With only one generator, you will get about 0.1 amp into your 12V battery.

Yes. If you had a radio before the wires should be there. If not you will need at least one long wire to the positive side of battery and just ground any where close to radio. I used a small lawn mower battery for power and mounted close. Lasted all day.

I do not remember exact dimensions.But I do know that this is a standard size battery for a 18 to 22 AH 12 volt battery.So if you are replacing a similar battery with these specifications,The size should be the same.The main thing you MUST make sure of is that the terminals are the same kind and in the same place(positive and negative).Otherwise you are in for some wire crimping or soldering.

Electrically this will work fine. I believe the S is a typo and should have been a V. They only differences with this battery is the terminal size. either .178" or .250". You have to determine this to purchase the correct one. http://www.yuasabatteries.com/pdfs/NP_7_12_DataSheet.pdf

Use kit # 5664 if you have an outdoor standby (whole house) gen set. To be sure...look under the air filter cover on the engine... the air filter should be round. The # 6484 kit is for the portable generator (wheeled unit) and I believe some smaller standby newer units that use the 760/990 cc Generac motor. Hope this helps

Must be hard wired by a professional. This is NOT a DIY project. Consult a Generac dealer and not a big box store because box stores know very little about this product. You will most likely buy the wrong size and switch if you do not consult a dealer.

That depends on the size of the house.. Best bet have a generac dealer come out and do a walk through.

Since this is a bada** battery, I would suggest upgrading power and ground wires to, at least, 4 gauge, if not, bigger

Absolutely, if you wire up the appropriate 12V battery with the current capacity you need for the target runtime. It would be a relatively trivial hack to do if you want to, but is it designed to do so? No.

While it might be awkward, you certainly could use a 12 volt automotive or marine battery. In fact, while I use mine with a lawn tractor, I use a marine battery used for a trolling motor rather than the tractor battery. This is because I was experiencing charging problems with the additional load on the tractor battery. I just strap the battery on the mower deck.

That's a good question. I know it is tight on my 7500 watt unit. (model 41553) Not to say too tight, but tight, which is probably good, because if it was stored outside, you would not want it to be loose. But if the generator were an inch longer, I don't think the cover would stretch enough. (If it did, you could use it for a drum. :) ) I guess you could compare the measurements.
