just an contrarian recommendation here:
My CB came with the OEM Yuasa of course, and it lasted a surprisingly long time, possibly because I ride nearly every day. i was able to keep that battery in use without ever needing to put it on a tender for close to 5 years. Then in 2021 it finally pooped out on me. However, despite its performance I couldn't resist the opportunity to shed some weight, so I got one of them fancy Lithium Ion batteries and let me tell you, it's done just as well! we're most of the way through 2025 and I haven't ever had to put the thing on a tender or charge it up, even after having let my CB sit for almost 3 months at two different times, once due to it being in the shop for a lengthy repair and once due to a maintenance issue while i was riding other bikes. The LiOn battery just fired right up like nothing was different. I seriously can't recommend them enough. It's a no brainer upgrade when your OEM Battery dies.
