Replacement battery for AC Delco 51ps

[Ryan Knuth]

I have an ODES Dominator 800 with an AC Delco 51PS battery. I believe the battery is stock.  I was curious if batteries for UTVs were fairly interchangeable as long as they fit in the housing. Or, do I absolutely need to get the exact battery as a replacement?

Every battery is interchangeable, except never use a gel cell (AGM's are fine) in place of a automotive,UTV or mower battery as they need to be removed and charge at low charge rate, and are made for Very high discharge applications.

Most batteries come in Group sizes, but mainly you need to make sure you match t or beat the cranking amps,

You should be able to take that battery to any auto parts store and they should have one that will work. Also you'll save money (about $15) buy not paying a core charge on the old battery. (they'll recycle your old battery).

As Travis has said, match, or exceed the cca rating on the existing battery is most important. The group size usually takes care of that, but it pays to be aware.
