I disagree.............The Wal-mart batteries are not meant for any type of vibration at all.....the plates are not welded together very well and in a ATV they are prone to go to the crapper........

LOL Could my broken foot be affecting my walking. I'm just kidding, my foot aint broke.

I'd make sure you've got good connections before you buy the battery. Take the battery out, clean connections on battery and wires. Check water level in battery. If it's low add some distilled water. After you've got it clean and water checked reinstall, charge and lightly coat the connections with ATF. (To keep clean and prevent corrosion.)
