I recently replaced my Motobatt battery when it died after only 22 months of use. In all fairness, I probably helped kill it by letting it set to long between starts last winter. After it left me unable to start the bike a couple of times, I checked the forums and made sure that the charging system was working, then went battery hunting.
I found one I decided to try on Batterystuff.com. I was a little leery as I had not heard of them before, but they have a battery they call "Scorpion" that is made to their specs, is AGM, and 200 CCA,( one place it says 220CCA). I bought one via Paypal for $55 total, and it shipped free. Ordered it Sunday night and had it on Wednesday, not bad from Oregon to Michigan. So far it works great, though I did charge it for a couple of hours with the new BatteryMinder 1500 I bought. Bike starts faster than I have ever had it start.
One other thing about the site that I liked was that they had a lot of information about batteries, what causes them to fail, how they work, etc. Check them out at link below if you want. I have no connection to or vested interest in this site, merely sharing what I thought was a good deal and good info. Look through the knowledge base below. FWIW. JMHO.
