After a dozen or so Guzzis of my own I only had one with a wiped out
seat pan . I have seen quite a few others .
The PO of my 1993 Cal III put a lawnmower battery in and the mufflers
were quickly sacrificed to an overcharge. The replacements from Ebay
even had the mark of the tractor battery. Not every tractor battery
will cause problems ,but a properly vented battery will not cause
problems.

 I use these, too, on my Guzzis. I found some dampness once, under the
battery. I use a pad under the battery to protect it from getting a hole

rubbed into it and the moisture was there. It didn't appear to be
corrosive, though. I threw the pad away anyhow.

I ALLWAYS put something inbetween the battery and the battery tray.
