RE: Replacement Battery - ymtnpoah11_imp - 01-27-2023
Another very helpful thread. I'd assumed batteries would be in the same camp as tyres and replacement parts. Half you spent less for an AGM than I just did on a lead acid one for my K6. It's great!
Low ml '14 bought in '19
Already had aftermarket battery - dated Mar'18
"Firepower" (Vietnam) 12V 11.2A
Occasional maintenance during winter - btender and warm storage
Almost 5y - not too shabby

That sounds encouraging.

So, let's try a "Chrome Battery" Amazon Recommended at $45 shipped.
If I get at least two years out of it, I'm money ahead over my Yuasa average lifetime.

Sounds like a fair plan Gone.
I have been using off-brand LiFePO4 that has a built-in LED charge-level indicator for $100 Cdn and it has been going very strong so far. If I can get at least three years, I'd be quite happy.
