ok so it's a 1970-73 honda CL100? why does every cunt want to do this guessing game shit
there's no voltage regulation for DC (which only drives coil, indicators, horn and some instrument lights. head and tail light is unregulated AC)
assuming you don't want to *add* voltage regulation to this system, it will need a 6N6-3B flooded cell, exactly this thing and only this thing. not fucking sealed/AGM/motobatt/lithium/nanotube. the flooded cell soaks up overvoltage by boiling, and this kills the other technologies.
topping up the battery electrolyte is a regular maintenance item. a plastic vent tube attaches to the battery and drapes down to the road, so that gas does not build up in the battery box.

we can talk about switching to regulated 12V, it's pretty cheap to do with a new coil, new horn, couple of new lightbulbs and a chinese pitbike's reg/rec. although you still wouldn't be able to run an ignition coil from tiny capacitors.
