Air filter and battery

What's wrong with a regular battery like https://www.louis.eu/artikel/saito-battery-fuer-honda-cb-550-f1-f2-four-in-one/10036800?filter_bike_id=0036&list=13033311 ?

I found the oem batteries better than cheaper lead acid ones. I have not tried the agm type in a 500 / 550 but on my wifes cb250 nighthawk I have had to replace the maintenance free agm battery every year yet never on the 125 rebel which seems odd. Doesn't help a lot. I will be cheating horribly and fitting a bog standard car battery on my 500/4 but I have the benefit of the space in the chair.

Why risk acid running over the pipes.Its almost impossible to find original pipes that aren't stained.Or even through the chain due to badly routed breather pipe.
The Motobatt batteries are brilliant the one in my dads Trophy 1200 is mounted on its side and it can be left for months at a time and has not failed to start it yet.
