I'm sure one of the sponsors here can help you find one. I would also like to try the gel batteries out there also.

My battery was shot so after some research I bought an AGM battery. Technology is supposed to be better than the Gels now. Harley has their version as well.
I've ready Odyssey to be good and they're made in the USA. Or you could try the Chinese version for $40 less... though I rather help support USA economy people need to do what they can to save.
I ordered my battery on a Monday and got it delivered from one coast to the other on Wednesday of the same week!
I've found these 2 stores had the best deals on the same brand batteries.

I've got the Odyssey PC545MJ. Good battery, although you have to shim the bottom to get it up so you can use your battery strap.
