    I don't know about eBay batteries but I've always liked using OEM Yuasa(sp) batteries. Even in Canada I paid less than $60.00 for my BR. Cheap piece of mind IMO. Try the search feature, I know I've read about different battery options somewhere.

    I have been running the ETX15 Big Crank AGM battery in my 200ES, best battery i ever bought. I went through a few flooded wet cell batteries from the local Wal-Mart and farm supply stores. This battery has better cranking power in the cold winter here as well. It wasn't cheap, $80 shipped, but its better than buying a new $50 battery every season.

    Bought 2 From O'Reilly auto parts . One for a 200es , one for an SX . SEALED so if it flips you don't lose the acid . 80 bucks each . Perfect fit no spacers . They had the atc listings in the book . Both in stock . I did buy a tender from sears , comes with pig tails to put on the battery post . So you just plug the slow charge tender into the pig tail , don't have to take fenders or seat off . Tender was 20 bucks .

    Battery tenders are worth their weight in gold! Perfect way to protect your investment and keep that battery ready. My 200ES is plugged into a battery tender year round, it doesn't need it so much in the summer but why not. In the winter though its nice to go out and unplug the battery tender and she just cranks and pops off thanks to a fully charged and lively battery thats been kept up by the tender.
