It is the original GS battery and Gel filled??

The options seem to be go lead acid code number YT12 BBS or stick with the Gel types YT12 ABS

Looked at odyssey batteries but don't really want to modify the battery mount.

Anyone else had to buy one recently?

TIA,

Hi Ray, I looked into this on my 998R and I would have preferred an Odyssey battery, like I had on my 996, but I didn't want to modify the tray so much. In the end I stayed with the OEM battery and just bought one cheaply through a local supplier. It saved a lot of hassle and got me going again.
