I know Sears has a Die Hard battery that they carry.
Also may able to get one from Walmart.
The dealer is also a good place!

A good place to order parts is the dealer or online parts retailers like babbits and hondaparts-direct. But alot of parts are no longer available. The for sale/wanted section in this forum is also a good place. There are a couple of part-outs going on now in there right now.

I also carry alot of Spree parts as well but not everything. A few things are sold out...

Sears die hard is a quality battery, I had one for 3 years and never did any maintenance that I should have on it before it died. Back in 2002 they were $25 with acid
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

I have bad luck with Ebay batteries, hope yours is better.

Flea-bay usually cost just as much as buying local once you pay shipping and you have no way to return it when it doest fit or is bad. Just tell the guy, at whichever place you opt to use, the make, the year and model number of your scooter. He will look it up and get you what you need.
