Default New battery for Switchback

Greetings,

As springtime slooooooooooooooooooooowly approaches, I have a list of things I want to do to the bike. Among them is a new battery. Still on the original from 2013.

There are so many options out there it's paralyzing. Hoping for some suggestions on a new battery for my Switchback.

Are the lithium batteries worth it?

I switched to a lithium,;but has been only a month so can't say on long run usage. Right now it starts the bike with no issues and is allot lighter.

I've had the AGM battery in my Switchback for about 2 years, still going.

Thanks all. Wound up going with the Yuasa GYZ for what I think is a good price.

I agree and went with a Twin Power Max 320cca and love it. Best one I ever had. No hesitation upon starting. Fit like a glove.
