AGM definitely the way to go.

- February 24, 2018, 13:57:14 PMWhat brand do they sell? I think Yuasa is the original OEM brand, but there are many others that are fine too. This is a subject you will often get as many opinions on as replies- there are varied opinions ranging from "a battery is a battery" to "brand and model ABC is the only one to get".
You can get a "good" or "bad" battery in any brand - and many other things affect battery life. Me, personally, I like to stick with a known brand name, and I prefer the AGM batteries. I use Interstate mostly myself, but it's more because of my access and price I can get- Yuasa is a good battery brand as far as I know, too.
