Chromebattery on eBay. Last time i bought one, it was $50 shipped for a sealed gel battery. They last longer than the expensive batteries plus gel cells.

Motorcycle battery at walmart. CL 12 I believe. They are sealed, lighter than the big ones, and only 50 bucks and only down the street

NEVERstart batteries from WlMart suck in my experience
Cannot get decent life out of them in my waverunner 500, much less one of the standups!

I have found the Yuasa batteries will keep cranking. esp important when learning a new trick and there are a lot of wipe outs. :rolleyes:
 
Yuasa and jetworks. I have both and they both work great. The Walmart batteries are okay if you don't have to start your engine every few minutes.

Advanced auto parts. Order online and use the promo code TRT30

Let me just one up ya here....Order the AGM ETX16 from Advance Auto ($90) plus enough spark plugs to get your total to $100 (It will actually be $110 because of a $10 core) and then use Code TRT41. That will get your $40 off $100. So you total for battery and spark plugs will be about $70 and if you bring in a core, $60. Bam. These batteries are great too. I tested one in a sit down with a locked up pump (didnt know it was locked). Trying to start it ended up melting the positive terminal, and I put it back in my X2 and its still perfect lol.
 
Just dont go cheap. I had a crappy walmart battery in my backup ski. This weekend i had the battery out and set it in the back of my car. It tipped over and spilled acid everywhere. All of the carpet in my cargo area dissolved before i could get home and put baking soda on it. Sure wish i would have spent the extra 25 bucks for an AGM. What was i thinking...
