Ah my favourite question, as I have to buy one pretty soon myself. When I look at the terminals of the one in the link, it is not for me.
I myself would be interested in the socalled no maintenance. Why? Well the best batteries I ever bought, were no maintenance marine batteries (resp 105Ah and 102Ah). They are incredibly good. I had to write them of for safety reasons. At sea you can't risk it, although I could handstart the V twin Farymann diesel with a handle. BTW, the two first two cars I owned, the Renault 4 and the glorious Citroën 2CV could be started the same way if necessary. Both VMF batteries (I believe an American brand), now 11 and 12 years old and still showing 12,6 Volts are in the garage where all the other 20 car owners can use them, whenever they have left their interior lights on. I've looked if VMF also makes bikebateries but I haven't found them. I have no interest in other sophisticated batteries that can get damaged when they receive 15V or need special chargers. Although reduction of weight is always welcome, I'm not prepared to pay more when you get less. Regularly exercise and sport, no visits to McDonalds is all what it takes. I don't need extra cranking power. If a conventional battery doesn't start your CB in either two attemps or 7 seconds (which ever comes last) you can start looking for the problem because there is one. I want the oldstyle terminals that can cope with my transistor ignition module. So I'm afraid it's going to be the old Yuasa again. They have always served me 6 years minimal and only the last year need to have some water every now and then. The longest I ever did with a conventional Yuasa was 7 years, be it that the last year it was the kickstarter only. But hey, there's that weight reducing exercise again! They're relatively cheap so if you do something stupid, it's no big loss. Most important reason: the other day I bought a litre of demineralised water for batteries that costed me a dear 45 cents. Yeah, I know but what made me risk it, is that on the bottle it says you can also use it in ironers!
