Of course my first nice day that i can get in a scoot, my Battery is dead. I know it's time for a new on, this one is the original battery. Anyone tried the GS from Autozone? do they last?

 

This doesn't really answer your question but you can't really beat the deal:

A lot of other people on here will recommend the bigcrank battery availabile on batterymart.com for about $100 shipped.

 

Get yourself a battery tender or else you will be buying a new battery every year!

 

Big Crank, $100 to your door, no core $

 

I have the GS on my '95 with a 113ci/11-1 compression (it does have compression releases). The first one lasted 3 years, might have been longer but I bought a 2012 and don't ride it as often. It has plenty of cranking amps.
I have a Battery Tender now and as mentioned before, a must if you let it sit even for a few weeks at a time. For the $45, cheap insurance.
