I tried cheap batteries and they are just that, cheap junk. Stay away!
Motobatt 16 YTX-16 BS (14 is factory size but 16 is taller and still fits)
is recommended but it's still a Chinese battery.
Yuasa AGM is the only batteries I touch any more.
I own a Optimate 6 to properly charge it after I add the acid (very easy to do)

Motocross = Yuasa = ZERO difference.
My MP3 never started better. I have Yuasa now in all my bikes.

I bought a 2009 MP3 400 and it came with a Yuasa battery. I don't know if it's original OEM or not but most likely is. It was still running strong until 2016 (8 years later) when my son accidentally drain it down by leaving the bench opened for several days before I had to replace it. I think it would have lasted a couple more years if it hadn't been accidentally drained. I replaced it with a Yuasa as well.
