    I bought the zpc brand for 29.50 with free shipping for my 250es and it has been great so far but only 2 months old. Good value for the price.

    I've been buying the Extreme Magna Power batteries and they've been trouble free so far.

    I seen those orange colored gel batteries too & may get one eventually-for a 250ES I got. Seems worth a try for sure & supposed to be better?

    As far as I'm concerned this is the final on AND the future of batteries: http://antigravitybatteries.com/

    I have one that has been sitting in a drawer for over a year that I have used a few times to test suspect electrical items. I finally got around to putting a charger on it the other day (special charger required) as the manufacturer claims it will hold a charge for a year. 10 minutes on the charger at it was back to 100%. Try that with a lead acid battery. Yea they cost, but to know it can sit a year without worry and spin a car engine if asked is worth it to me. The fact that they weigh nothing is just icing on the cake.
    It sucks to get old
