I was thinking of ditching the battery on my cb360t.

The previous owner had removed the points and installed a newtronic device for the timing.

I really don't know if I'm describing this right but does anyone know if this new timing system can be run with out a battery?
 
If you want to run without a battery, you'll need to do some work. A sufficiently large capacitor can replace the battery in your bike, but only if your charging system is up to the task. In theory it would work, but practice can be different. I was able to get mine to run with a cap, but it didn't run well and opted to return to a battery.
 
Lots of much smaller lighter batteries out there to replace your old brick with. Only reason to ditch the battery near as I can figure is weight savings or simplifying the relocation process if you're hiding your electronics.

Keep it simple and run a small battery. I went kick only on my XS650 and still have a battery. Not worth the $100's it would cost to go to a high output PMA on the XS just to get rid of a battery. $100 buys a high tech super small/light li-ion battery.
 
Ok thanks that helps. I just didn't know where to put the battery with out it being completely visible. can a battery be mounted on its side or does it have to be upright?
 
Depends on the battery. Anything labelled "sealed" or "AGM" can usually be mounted however you'd like.
