Battery for W2000

[Ageing Rotarian]

Gents, can anyone advise as to the battery spec/size that is currently available for the DKW’s?
Size of the battery box is (approx) 80x185x160 and the battery which comes up that will fit into these dimensions is only 12AH were the original is quoted as being 15AH.
There is a battery which looks as though it will be too much of a squeeze at 80x186x170 at 18AH but this just looks too much battery for the job.
If anyone has a W2000 and can advise the battery type that would be most helpful
Thanks in advance

The 18A is the one to go for …. the 15A used to struggle - especially with the bike used in town, lights on etc

Thanks for that Dave.
I have taken the plunge and bought the 18amp battery, it’s a tight fit and I will have to remake the battery clips but it made sense to go bigger if i could ‘shoe horn it in’.
