Hello I say get a good battery the ones from walmart never worked well for me ie: didn't last very long slow cranking and so forth try something like yuasa or similar

[Nessism]

Generic batteries, like from Walmart, are okay but don't seem as durable as a Yuasa OE battery. When you consider the price it's no big deal though.

The Cheaper replacement batteries are typically good for about a good year's worth of riding. You just have to weigh the cost of a Yuasa against replacing the cheaper one a couple of times.
