I bought an Atom for the DT. They're bog-standard lead-acid batteries of the "old skool" Smile Nothing special, quality-wise but the technology is falling out of favour due to shipping restrictions on acid in bottles.

Be careful with it if you do order one as they come pre-filled and likely to either pop in transit or at least when you unpack it, i.e. prepare for acid to be sprayed everywhere - you have been warned!!!

I woudn't touch it with a disinfected bargepole, it's an old-fashioned substandard POS at an inflated price. Rather than the Yuasa, I'd buy:

https://www.tayna.co.uk/motorcycle-batteries/leoch/yb9-b/

Because all else being equal, it comes with a two-year guarantee. the others don't.

Why does the OP call himself "KsakElimination" when the POS he indicates is called "YB9B Motorcycle Battery Kawasaki BN 125 Eliminator 98-05", I wonder.
