Motobatt is a good battery. I think mine is going on 8 years.

I only have a minor complaint about this battery, it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb due to it's bright yellow color.  I think I may put some black tape on the side of it to make it less conspicuous.

I was thinking a bicycle inner tube if there is room. It could help with vibration also

My buddy Phil Swift came through for me and I remembered I had some Flex Tape lying around from the makers of Flex Seal.
