P500 Battery Confusion

[Keebler]

I am a bit confused, my P500 owners manual lists a battery of GYZ16H, however the Honda shop, local stores, and most web sites show a 14 series battery for the P500. I am having trouble finding a GYZ16H, however I can find GYZ16HL which has the positive and negative terminals reversed. The GYZ16H is a 16A battery while the 14 series is either a 12A or 14A battery. It appears the GYZ16H is the only 16 series battery with dimensions that will fit in my battery box while almost all the 14 series will fit. What are others P500 owners doing, going with the 14 series or looking around for a GYZ16H?

The 14's are the old ones. Yuasa switched over to the 16's a couple yrs ago. It's funny you said you're able to get the 16HL as I looked all over for one of those a few months back and couldn't find one. I wanted it for my second battery. Anyway, the 16's are better and what you want.
