So I'm nearly due to replace my battery on my 2005 zx6r 636. I'm not looking to save weight but something dependable that will give me ample power for my alarm and tons of accessories.

I like the newer AGM type batteries, as far as brands I think it is hit or miss also. I just got one at Walmart, it was just a bit scary loading the sulfuric acid in it. Working great so far.

Can I get this for my 636?

Actually I just found this online:

I laugh when i read battery reviews online along the lines of: "This battery sucks! I left it charged last summer and now a year later its dead...."
