Just remember that you get what you pay for when buying batteries.

Its just a simple lead acid sealed battery, another $20 or so would get you an AGM battery in the atx14 form factor.

advance auto has them near you "Magna power" brand , thgey are good batteryes, google retail me not for coupons to get the price down around $74

or order one from amazon, these batteries made by east penn are good batteries.

check the terminal orientation before ordering, that is an example, NOT the exact battery for your bike.

Odyssey makes super batteries. I've had one in the KLR for 6 or 7 years now, and it's still going strong. You won't get much in the way of a battery for $50.

Odyssey if you can stuff one in there. I've had them working 6-8 years in hi vibration vehicles (motorcycles, hovercraft, aircraft)....replaced them still working but owner nervous about the age. I've never had one croak, but have seen dead ones so I guess they quit eventually...
