You can find cheap ones for 68 bucks but shipping costs about half that on top. Wally world,Batteries+ or somewhere local. The oem Yuasa is expensive but is a good battery. Yb30 battery. Wallworld has one fairly cheap,but you get what you pay for in many cases..https://www.walmart.com/ip/KMG-YIX30...torc/192383361

Spend the extra $ on a lithium or gel. Get way more life, cranking amps, and peace of mind.

I bought a new one from my Arctic Cat dealer for $44. It was made for the Kymco's and made in Taiwan. Anyway, works great, so far in my AC 400. Try a Kymco dealer.

Standard battery was 30 amps(YB30LB). 300 CCA. Wouldn't get any thing smaller as this big twin needs the umph to turn it over and work right.

I've gotten batteries for the bikes from here before.

They have an ebay store too, but it's the same price. If you're looking for a cheap battery that lasts about as long as the warranty, these are good. I keep it hooked to a battery tender now when I park it. Last one I had was good for the 3 years, but when it was down in the 30's, it struggled to get the 1500 v twin turned over. Didn't hook it to the charger. Bought a gel battery before that. Lower cranking amps than a regular battery, but that's what it called for. 2 year free replacement, no pro rating. Lasted 2 years and 2 weeks. Last expensive battery I'm buying for them.

I just bought a new battery for my Brute Force from Amazon for $45 with free shipping. It actually has slightly more cranking amps than the stock battery, 200 vs 180. That's the thing I look for when buying a battery. I want one that has at least equal cranking amps to stock. More is always better. 300 is a lot though, guess that twin does need a lot of juice to get started. You didn't say if it was a carb or efi 700 though. Its a different battery for each model. Here's one for $70 with 385 cranking amps https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...K8WSF7GXTA3EE8. That exceeds the stock battery's 300. This one is for the carb 700, there is one for similar price if you have the efi 700. I bought a battery a couple years ago from this seller for my Rancher 350 and it worked fine. I see its the same seller, Pirate Battery as the link Scooter posted. In a lot of cases, the battery is the same its just each seller puts their sticker on it to designate their store. The Rancher 350 battery was identical to the stock one except for the sticker, for example.
