Whats the recommendations for replacement batteries....... Lets assume that money is not the deciding factor, and were after performance and longevity......... The battery will be in a cold garage over winter, on the bike with an optimiser permanently fitted. The optimiser is rated for all types of battery......... Should I go for Lead Acid, Glass Mat, Gel, or Lithium?

Glass mat.  Motobatt.  Not that I have much experience,  but this hasn't let me down.

I've used Varta AGM for my vehicles recently.

We've got a VW diesel which ran with the original as above for 119,000miles in eleven years and never ever needed battery attention. Never really thought about buying that brand or type before until that one.

So on that basis,  I bought one for my 750 and so far (just over a year)  it's been better than anything else I've had. Even stood outside under a cover for three months with no attention at all and no problems. It just seems to hold charge and start with ease.

Not particularly special in spec and cost £45 delivered via amazon.

Do not use acid if you value your exhaust system
