I always buy an Optima battery for all my cars cuz they last a lifetime.
I've had good luck with Bosch (made by Varta iirc) and Yuasa.
When I replace mine I went with the Optima Yellow Top. Seems to be hanging in there 6 years later.
I've never had a problem with one
I had a couple of Optimas back in the early 00’s that I took from truck to truck to truck. I had a couple of them for about 10 years. they used to be nearly indestructible.
My 09 yellow top just bit the dust. I was able to get it charged back above 13v but it's so old I didn't want to risk it with winter coming.
There is a known random issue with 400 packs. On mine, it is always when I turn on the bike. The speedometer doesn't come on and there is no assist. What I learned about on the internet is to push the test button on the battery with the bike turned on and it will reset and work just fine.
All since lifespan has been 2-3 years. I only sell them at customer request…
Bought a yellow-top that only lasted 3 years.
I went through 3 red tops within 2 years because of bad cells.
