Gen-1 Spyder battery replacement...
Spyder sitting for a few of the rainy weather months and battery almost dead on attempting to start. It's a 2011, possibly a late 2010 production so the original battery could be now over 5 years.
Any thoughts on the best battery to purchase and install? Anyone using the new Porsche AGM Battery? http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/AGMBATTERY.html
Lithium-ion battery? Price? Yeesh!

Aftermarket?
Thanks in advance...

Joel check the fluid inside the battery, my fluid had burned off due to a bad charger and the battery was completely dead. I added some distilled water and was able to bring it back to full charge, I haven't had any issues with it since.
As far as replacement, I'm thinking something lightweight also but definitely not the Porsche Lithium. Braille and Odyssey seem to be the most popular. Rennline sells the Odyseey with a mount so no modifications are required.
