6 ah or more capacity battery for cg-125

[bike_junky]

Can anybody guide about a 6 ah or greater capacity any battery (dry charge, lead-acid, maintenance free) for cg-125, that can be installed in the original cg-125 battery casing.
My cg has been on original battery for almost 5 years. I think now I should change it and also the bulb to H4 type halogen etc and looking for alternatives.

no answer. It means no chance to find one.

Maintenance free 12v5ah can be installed easily. As battery ah gets higher size starts to increase .

Thanks dear. Are these available brand new for motorcycles.

Yesterday I called this guy. He has installed Volta dry battery 4ah in his m-cycle and told that he has used stock casing.

I will look for the one you mentioned or the Volta.

Plz also guide me a little bit about battery charging system.

1) As factory default battery is 2.5ah, so stock bulb in cg is of 25 watts. If I install battery of 5ah or 4ah, and 60 or 50 or 35 watts headlight bulb, would they get enough current from generator/alternator and will I get better light.
2) Any wiring heating issue or stock light heating issue.
3) Would battery be fully charged. I daily ride total of 24kms morning and in the evening.
4) What necessary adjustments/alterations to be done if I do it myself.

It's simple i have installed 12V-5A battery in my CG125. It is a lead acid battery (Maintainance free).
Got it for Rs1000 from College Road, Rawalpindi. It wouldn't be having wires coming out from terminals like AGS or Exide so you have to make those yourself. I did it myself Just get two 8-10A rating wires and solder them from one end to the terminals of the battery and the other end you have to attach the clippers of the type which would fit into the 2 wires of the bike and thats it.

The battery is more or less the same shape and size as the 2.5Ah one and manages to fit into the original casing. (Dont have camera mobile at the moment otherwise would have shown you some snaps)

Currently i have pressure horn and tube instead of bulb installed in headlight, i also had low and high beam shorted so that when i turn on the headlight both the beams are on simultaneously. Mind you for this you have to change the handi of the headlight as stock one would get heated, dull and even may melt.
if you dont want to use the above formula go for 35Watt bulb, should be more than enough.
Using higher ampere battery than 5 Ampere is also not recommended as your system will not be able to charge it.

Thanks a lot. You have made it very clear, but I am still confused on certain things:).

1) What do u mean by tube? Is it an incandescent bulb shaped like tube that fixes in the stock headlight of cg-125 replacing the original 25W bulb? What wattage?
2) What changes I will have to make if I use car like H4 halogen bulb of 35-55W in the same stock light of cg. Is it not recommended bc of melting issue aur I will have to buy new handi with metal reflector, glass lens and new H4 type connector.
3) Any other changes if I use no 2 option like relays, cutouts, alternator change etc.
4) As you mentioned to use 35Watt bulb, does cgs stock bulb also comes in 35Watt power that fits in the same stock cg housing.

It's shape is exactly like bulb just the glass part is different and will easily fit in stock holder of CG. I dont know it's wattage but it is definitely brighter than the bulb. Easily available at Auto palace, commitee chowk for Rs100

2) What changes I will have to make if I use car like H4 halogen bulb of 35-55W in the same stock light of cg. Is it not recommended bc of melting issue aur I will have to buy new handi with metal reflector, glass lens and new H4 type connector.

Havent used it so i dont have any idea regarding this but i wouldn't recommend messing too much with the wiring

4) As you mentioned to use 35Watt bulb, does cgs stock bulb also comes in 35Watt power that fits in the same stock cg housing.

Stock CG comes with 12V/25W bulb this is a bit of an upgrade to 35W, and yes it fits easily in the stock holder of CG. I personally haven't seen bulb higher than the rating of 35W.

yes the battery which i have in my bike is the same as mentioned by @archon2001 the company name is LEOCH, it does have larger ampere rating batteries but they dont fit so 5A one is the best option.

no.

Yes

3) Would battery be fully charged. I daily ride total of 24kms morning and in the evening.

battery will eventually drain in few day (say couple of wheeks) and might need monthly top up charging

4) What necessary adjustments/alterations to be done if I do it myself.

no u cannot or might can do if you have wiring diagram and no how to add relays to it and how much reduction is required in tail / mudgaurd resistors.

CG125 uses 3 phase alternator and has lots of power (watts) and is drained in tail twin resistors (40W5Ohm in total drain power) and rectifier under the seat... it can charge much bigger batteries while using main lamp with Fog Lamps as well... but one might need help from an electrician for this... local hathora electrician have few work arounds as well..
