WPS gel cell battery

I looked all over and still can't decide on what battery to get. The Valk battery is giong in the 95 Interstate we have , and I will get a new one for the Valk. There is nothing wrong with the Valk battery , but why put a new one in a bike we are going to sell.
I know I opened up a new (old stock) can of worms.

I like Yuasa and Interstate for batteries. Standard wet cell type.

I have bought most of my batteries from here: http:

Always come filled and fully charged, ready for use. I have these batteries in 3 of my bikes/ATVs including the valk.

I'm just about to replace my battery this month...still waiting for the snow to melt. I've had this one in the Valk for 10 years last month. Bought a Carquest Gel cell in March 23, 2004. I will replace it with the same type of battery, no since switching to a different brand with that track record.

I pretty much use Interstate batteries in everything, O2 level reader & etc.
The Chevy has a Interstate Gel. Went out about 3 hours ago, took the CTEK off and he rolled over about 6 times and fired off. Apparently the carb was dry. That electric fuel pump fills that big assed 4 bbl pretty fast, and keeps it full at all speeds and RPM's.
Setting there idling it was registering 13.2 on the meter. Took off and it hit 14.3 and 14.4 real quick. Run it about 40 miles and brought it home. Will probablyy get both out tomorrow. Son wants to go for a ride on the ServiCar. We are still finding bugs we didn't know existed. Hopefully we have them all now. We will take a road trip in a couple of months and find out for sure.
Told my son I'd pull the trailer behind the Chevy in case we needed it. I think it insulted him. He turned red and walked off. Hasn't said much except he wants to ride it this weekend.
