2010 rt-s battery replacement choices

[TroyboyRn]

Hello all i know this has been probably been hashed to death but i just called the dealer for my 2010 spyder rt-s and a replacement battery was 140 buck and he stated it was an interstate.

My questions are: 1) what am i looking for as far as a replacement i.e. size model etc
2) do i need to go to a dealer to get it since i know they run quite a bit higher than an auto store or online.
3) if anyone can throw out some brand names and or model numbers i'd be greatful

I dont mind spending good money on a quality battery because i know how important they are but dont want to waste money just for some dealer to make profit off me

Thanks for you time

For the past few years I have bought my batteries at Batteries Plus. Good service, good batteries. Their motorcycle/ATV batteries have a 2 year warranty. Most others are just 90 days. Prices aren't the cheapest, but they are reasonable.

Same here. Batteries Plus.
But be aware the difference between a -BS (Bottle filled) and one directly from Yashua.

Here is my video and post where I talk about this.
I bought a -BS before I knew this might be a problem. No leaks and it's working fine! So I personally think your OK with a -BS battery model BUT with that said, BRP reccomends a non-BS model.
