The OEM battery is a Yuasa and they're generally recommended as a very good battery; you can get them with the acid already added or "dry" with a separate container of acid. Some people use aftermarket batteries; Lamonster Garage sells both OEM and aftermarket.

From what I've read here .... they are no longer made in the USA and a few recent purchases by Forum members have said they arn't as good as before......JMHO ...Mike

Whichever one makes you happy, but without more info, how can we know?
I hate ambiguous "what is the best..." questions. It varies with the situation and individual parameters.

Limited number of factories making batteries and everyone slaps their label on them. I am currently running a Duralast from Auto Zone and it is as good as anything else I have used in 50 years of riding.

I currently am using a Moto Batt battery I purchased from Lamonster Garage about 2 years ago. It has been a good investment so far. No problems at all. I would think any battery Lamont at Lamonster Garage would sell you for your Spyder would be a good battery. He knows what Spyders need for voltage to start and run great. So my opinion is you can’t go wrong with a battery from Lamonster. Hope this helps you make a good decision on your next battery.

Can I ask, are you needing to replace the battery already?
I'm just curious since I am new to Spyder Life.
