    What about $215 YT/GT9B-4 at Daytona Motors/Atlas/Yamaha/Honda or
Davidson Batterries...they call these specialty batteries, but the Chinese
Clone ones are just as good, not as pretty but they work fine for half the
price...

    Vents on the AGM/SLA rubber strip ones may leak a little at the
edges of the rubber strip that says (do not remove)..it unbalances the cells
and the center one may puff out a little.

    Regular refill vents must be refilled 1/4" from the top of the
plate...but hey why not experiment if the battery is hopeless, otherwise use
discretion....AGMs with a rubber vent cover, may be refilled with 1 teaspoon
of water per cell, if you wanna chance it.

    They AGM/SLA/Regular all leak some micro nano amount at the
terminals, but haven't they always.
