Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I'm sticking my '84 Spree back together and wondering which battery I should buy for it. There's a thousand different ones that will fit, but which one is a best buy? I don't need anything fancy, just something that works.

Thanks.

*Release after installing.

Personally, I go the cheap route. As any 4L-BS battery will work, I get $15 throw-aways from Spree-bay. I bought one a yr ago from the local battery supply store for $40+tax and it was their "top-o-the-line" except for the super fancy $85 lithium gel blah blah. I see zero difference in performance or durability between the two after 1 full year. However, if youre the type to have every accessory under the sun on your bike like phone charger, stereo, extra lights, alarm system, etc....get the super deluxe.

I paid 20$ for a micky mouse gel cell battery . Hasnt let me down

I went with the battery tender lithium because I do indeed run all kinds of accessories and will be adding color changing LED lights to the bottom of the bike this summer.

Thanks for the responses! Anyone else?

Cheapest one that will fit will work.

Scooter Swap Shop has some cheap Motoforce ones. I was thinking of getting a coupl of those for some beater scooters I have laying around.

Ive personally bought 2 of these. They work great, have a digital battery display, and u cant argue with the price.

Dang this is pretty cool. It's always the simple stuff that impresses me

I got 2 of the Motoforce ones from SSS for $19ea.
They work awesome.

That is awesome.

Although.... wouldn't the display cause a drain on the battery?

Yeah... as much as a watch battery. Bike would have more in phantom losses than that.
