New battery

The battery on my K9 Wee, a GS Gtx 12 BS, seems shot. Can anybody recommend a quality battery replacement? Thanks.

Shop around for the best price on something like a Yuasa, Varta, Bosch or Motobatt. All are OK. Just make sure that they supply the acid (if applicable) with it.

Motobatt gives more cranking power and 4 terminals for adding extras if you need, but expensive.
