<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Manufacturers Recommend Their Own Brand
Most motorcycle manufacturers recommend that you use their brand of battery. However, comparable brands may be cheaper and just as effective. The Battery Stuff store vouches for quality over brand loyalty. It considers its Odyssey batteries to be "super-premium."
On the Other: Brand is Less Important Than Type
More important is the type of battery. Where a bike is supplied with a lead acid battery, an AGM battery can pay dividends in ease of maintenance and longevity. Check the warranty to see what kind of confidence the manufacturer has in its products. Yuasa, Die Hard and Scorpion are considered good.
Bottom Line
Unless you really need high performance at a level beyond most riders, the brand does not matter. What matters is that the battery fits and has a reasonable warranty (12 months is good). Therefore, almost any battery will set you on the road to your next adventure.
