Post Kat Batteries

My NeverStart battery that was in the bike when I bought it has given out. Ive done a little searching and found a few but Im really interested to know what others are running. Im not looking for the cheapest out there. Im looking for a good dependable battery thats not going to give me problems in 3 months. Any suggestions?

i replaced my neverstart with another one. i killed the first one because i thought it was low on fluid. NOT! okay so far. my 235cca tested at 265cca.

In case anyone was wondering just how small the Shorai is compared to the stock lead acid unit...

Wow yeah that is really small. I have every intention of picking one of these up soon. The battery I have now is still holding up but goes dead if the bike sits for a few days without being ridden. Just gotta figure out how to explain to my wife why I spent $130 on a battery lol.

Ya they are small.. I was going to put it next to the lead battery to show size but it really didn't give the size comparo I wanted so I went with the mouse instead, everyone can relate to the size of a mouse...

Its expensive for a battery no doubt... but they guarantee maintenance free for 12 months and they expect double the life span of a lead acid..and no acid on the frame and plastics.. that was the selling point for me... I HATE dealing with battery acid.
