Don't worry about the battery unless it starts giving you trouble. In 4-5 years? Then don't waste money on an overpriced Lithium battery. Sealed AGM batteries are nice because you never have to check the electrolyte level. But a cheap wet fill battery will work just fine.

Can we use wet fill ones with the battery being sideways?

Custard is really interesting stuff, you can walk on it without sinking.

I wonder if they make an AGM f9r our scooter. When it was time to replace the battery on one of our scooters, I had tried to purchase and install a higher amp battery only to find that it would not fit in that tiny space. I have heard of others purchasing a lithium battery for theirs because they were smaller, but I haven't heard of anyone being able to purchase and install an AGM for a small scooter.
