This came at the right time - my 2007 Grizzly's battery is gone, so $79 for a Yuasa AGM is not bad at all I think.
PS - A few things I learned:
1) In this case, these batteries are shipped "dry"; you need to add the acid (easy with included pre-measured dispenser) and you MUST charge them at no more than 2 amps using a smart charger to finish the initial charge before you use it.
2) As dry, their shelf life is years. Once filled with acid, the counter starts on battery life. So if you get something that's filled and ready to go, how long it's been on their shelf "wet" matters. Good shops will only activate enough batteries to keep their stock rotating.
3) Filling a battery will result in a charge, but not doing the finishing charge will result in the battery not being able to accept a full charge as it was designed to do.
