    Need a Battery Recommendation

    My battery is dead, and I need to buy a new one. I checked a few of the threads, but didn't find anything conclusive... Any advice or recommendations for a battery for a 68S?

    Thanks in advance

    I've got an Optima gel battery. They are a bit pricey but don't leak. No issues although it quit taking a charge after about 2.5 yrs of daily driving and they gave me full replacement under the 3yr warranty.

    Thanks for the info. I've had two Optima recommendations, so ill probably go this route. Good to know about it not leaking.
