battery recommendation?

Post by Edwub »

Hey all,

Looks like the time has come. My stock battery is essentially toast. Needing to top it off at least twice a week with my battery tender. My stock looked to be a Yuasa YTX9-BS.

Was trying to figure out what I should replace it with, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. The catch is I need to purchase from Amazon.com, as I have a gift card balance there and can't really spend $ elsewhere right now.

This one is $35 and looks to be well-rated:
http://www.amazon.com/YTX9-BS-Performan ... YTX9-BS%22

This one is $42 and also well-rated, and has 'high performance' in the name
http://www.amazon.com/YTX9-BS-High-Perf ... YTX9-BS%22

This one is $30 and called a Yuasa replacement:
http://www.amazon.com/YTX9-BS-REPLACEME ... YTX9-BS%22


So many options O.o, and many are "highly rated" on Amazon. Just not sure if there are any I should go for, or avoid, or if I should just be budget conscious and choose.


Much appreciated!

If I were you I would go for the third choice. $30 is an excellent price as dealers charge ~$60 bucks. Use your tender regularly and it should last a while.

In case anyone is interested - my battery seemed to be dying so I ordered the $30(shipped) one from the list above. Works great and the cost is so much better than my dealer...
