I have a 2010 Unicorn which was originally fitted with a 7 AH regular battery. I has lasted on for so far but only with regular trickle charging etc. Now I wish to move over to SMF battery. I am very inclined to select 5 AH SMF battery from either Tata Green or Amaron and since that can fit in the original battery case, it is also very tempting for me.
What are the drawbacks of going in for a 5 AH battery in a CB Unicorn except for the fact that maybe one will have to give up on a bit of storage backup. But won't also the smaller battery get charged faster. And in any case these batteries last for 2 years at the best after which they start losing capacity. So is it a big giveaway to sacrifice 2 AH of reserve power ?
