    Resolved Are batteries fairly universal if they have similar specs?

    94 gsx, I relocated my battery and its just barely too big to fit where I want it, maybe 1/2" in every direction. I want to find a smaller battery to fit there, and dont want the small battery kit if I can help it. As long as terminals line up, its 12v and has similar CCAs and CAs, will it work...
