I have stretched my Wal-Mart cheapo 12-month battery into month 24. This morning it was cold turkey, dead tuna, stiff-as-a-board... gone. It'll take a charge, but I'm thinking I've pushed my luck (and the limits of the battery). And, I don't relish the idea of being stranded because I'm cheap.
What brands do you all use in your bikes? I'm looking at the maintenance free Yuasa, but if there is a more economical model out there, I'd probably go for it.
Regards,
Shannon
