    Best motorcycle Battery?

    Once again I am relegated to changing out my battery. it seems like I go through them every 2 years. I did pop the caps off the battery and it did need water (even though the stickers say don't do it.) I added distilled water to the battery. It has been trickle charging all night and I won't know until tonight if it will charge and hold the charge.

    So anyways, I did a search and didn't come up with many answers to this question.

    What battery do you recommend in your motorcycle? I used the everstart walmart battery and not impressed with them thus far. However I do not know what else is out there?

          Yuasa lasts for years, and is truly maintenance free. Can get them on Amazon for $50-$70. (I just bought a new one for $54 shipped.)

            Yuasa, Ballistic, Shorai

            You have to pay more than $20 if you want a good battery.

            90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

                  I put water in it and it is charged up, will see if it holds the charge or not. At least it will get the bike running from its winter sleep.
