Mines shot and won't hold a charge. What are you guys buying for replacements? Whats the best bang for the buck? I seen some on ebay anywhere from $25-$100.

Yuasa has always been the best brand for me.

right now im running diehard for my second season with same batteries, its a 5L-BS at $38 a piece... so far so good

Haha I would love a kickstart but I like these 06+ motors better and I don't have the cash to do kickstart.

Do most off these off brand batters fit with my stock mounting brackets? I remember when I raced 300's we had to modify mine to get some other batteries to fit. And by modify I mean get a bigger hose clamp haha.

Ive used walmart to cheap scooter batteries, and as long as it had the number 5 it has fit so far!!I do like the diehard ones, and after activating with acid its sealed with non removable type plugs,and this way you know how long its been activated unlike some on the Internet, some of those could be years old
