I keep a spare fully charged Gel battery for my SV in case my main one gets flattened. Here in the UK they are abundant and easily got from eBay or Tanya battery company.

These are for my 1999 Gen1 SV650.

YTX12A UK eBay

ATOP Less than £40 GBP.

I struggled to find as many on US eBay but found these,

YTX12A-BS High Performance -Maintenance Free- Sealed AGM Motorcycle Battery eBay USA

ATOP Less than $40 US.

HTH :)

I have bought 2 or 3 from this place and no problems with them or the batteries. Good prices.

Wow, those are some super low prices for AGM batteries. The current battery I have I think I bought it in 2015 and it cost close to $100, if not more.

Thanks for posting this link. Excellent prices :)

The way I look at it now is I can get two of this type of cheaper AGM/Gels for the price of an expensive one and always have a charged battery ready just-in-case :)
1: AGM batteries are not Gel batteries, for those who may have gotten them confused.

2: Good batteries ain't cheap & cheap batteries ain't good.
I did an inexpensive batteryshark lead acid battery in the Monster at least 2 years before I sold it, and had no problems. I was glad because the battery did not live under the seat. You had to drop it out the bottom, which was umm. interesting. And none to convenient if you needed a jump start, which I never did. :whistle:
