Can you help me a full acid battery?
I have a Buddy 170i and I want a battery that is full liquid (wet acid) instead of AGM. I can't find one.

Sears used to sell those old types, but I'm not sure if they still do.
Why in the world would you want one of those? They leak, need to be topped-off with distilled water occasionally, won't hold a charge as well as an AGM, They don't put out as much cranking amps, don't perform as well in temperature extremes, they have a shorter life span, on and on...

It might be your particular battery that is the issue and not the fact that it's an AGM. I've been running an AGM in my scoot for over a year without starting issues, and my engine is modified with higher compression as one of the mods.mike932 wrote:I have a new 6-amp AGM battery that lacks starting power.
