Not long after buying my Type-S in 2015, I had issues with the battery running flat. I swapped it out for a Bosch S4008 (74ah / 680cca / Type 096). I've had absolutely no problems since.
However, to get the bigger battery in, I had to remove the battery box, cover, and J-hooks. It's completely insecure (I understand that this is a technical MOT failure? - never had a problem though). Due to the lack of room, I also had to remove the air intake cover.
I understand you can retro fit the battery holder components from the 2.2d tourer (or V6 version)?
There's a video on youtube showing this conversion, albeit this is not a Type-S, and he appears to fit a slightly smaller battery to mine (BCI group 35?).
I've also noticed that the relevant Honda parts don't seem to be available online within the UK.
Is this conversion possible on the type-s, and if so, where can I get the parts? Or would it be simpler to revert back to an OEM sized battery?
