Battery?

I have a 2007 GS500F. I have the original battery which is getting pretty weak, having to charge it every few days. I'm also running a custom halogen headlight system, which is also draining the battery pretty quick. I need a good battery that can handle the halogens and cold starts.... Any suggestions?

Exactly.

However, you may have made an incorrect assumption and first you need to install a new battery, fully charged and then
make some voltage measurements. An old battery can make it appear that the alternator is weak when that's not the case at all.

An AGM (sealed) battery is highly recommended.
If there is any extra space, a slightly bigger one (more capacity) might fit.

Did I say charge the new one before use ?
