It comes with a standard flooded battery. You can usually step up to an AGM in the same Group 96R for longer life, but it isn't required. A 590-640 CCA rating is typical for this class. Matching or slightly exceeding the OEM figure is fine; going below it risks hard starts in winter. Group 96R defines the case size and terminal layout (reversed-terminal layout (r)), so any reputable Group 96R battery will fit the tray and connect correctly.

Where to buy a Group 96R battery
