Where did you get your AGM battery?

I saw some on the shelf at wally world that claimed to be AGM, but you had to add the acid to it before use.  Uhh.. that's not a "sealed AGM" battery.

I have this companies AGM batteries in all the toys (two bikes and two PWC's).  I bought one of theirs for my FJ 5 years ago and never had an issue.  I took it out and put it in a FJ I fixed up and sold not too long ago.  Still works fine, and I bought my FJ a new one.. just because I could.

I got this battery at Batteries Plus. 

Never had an issue with their stuff before.

Thanks for the link.

+1 on the Deka brand..... they are some serious tough batteries.

Based on local experience, Batteries Plus has a success rate of about 50%.  I've got their AGMs in 3 bikes right now.  One is several years old and still starting fine in my '85.  Another (newer) in my '93 is beginning to crank slowly.  I finally replaced the stock Yuasa in my FZ1 last year before a trip to Ark.  1700 miles and one week later, that battery died instant death.  The replacement is going strong.

Bad batteries, it happens.

New battery, at no cost, makes a whale of a difference!

Awesome I need one too but all I find are the conventional type I want a AGM sealed bat.I have two for my waverunners but they are just a little to large to fit or I would try one of them.I dont want to spend $40-$45 for a conventional bat when I can get a better one for a few bucks more.
