ATV im looking at (Honda 300ex) needs a new battery. Dealer wants $80 Walmart has them for around $50 eBay has this for $37 The dealer and walmart have the type with acid in them but eBay has the gel type. I plan to mount the battery in the normal spot and up right, but wondering if having a gel battery would be better for a quad. > **[GEL ATV Battery YTX9-BS for Honda TRX 300EX 400EX Fourtrax Sportrax LTZ400 250 ...](http://www.ebay.com/itm/GEL-ATV-Battery-YTX9-BS-for-Honda-TRX-300EX-400EX-300-400-EX-Fourtrax-Sportrax-/380643350992)** > > TRX400X, EX, Fourtrax, Sportrax.

I used to sell a ton of WPS batteries when I worked at don Georges. Get whatever and get a $6 battery tender from Harbor freight and call it a day. ---

I’ve always used Diehard batteries in my cars/boats since I was 16. In all these years I’ve never had a Diehard die before I got rid of the vehicle in fact. Put one in my sled at the start of this season and had no issues with it. ---

I was going to suggest that, but if he is buying a 300ex and I’m going to guess he won’t have it long and want to upgrade. ---
