    This past weekend my bike couldn't start after sitting in the garage
    for the past two months of collecting dusts. I know the battery is
    pretty much on its last leg so I am looking forward to buy a
    replacement battery for it. Any recommendation on an good aftermarket
    battery for my 996?

    Sorry about this. But I am not sure of the difference between sealed
    battery vs. not sealed. What are the advantage of one over the other?

    If you go with a gel battery, make sure that your battery tender, if you
    have one, is compliant to the battery. I have a BMW with a gel battery, but
    my 3-yr old tender, while gel compliant, is not Exide brand battery gel
    compliant. Apparently they recommend a differnt protocol and Deltran is
    happy to sell new units whenever an opportunity arises. If your bike sits
    for extended periods, it's a good idea to use a tender, as it extends the
    life of the battery.
