I changed my battery to a newer one of type AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat). It has a VRLA (Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid) mechanism which means it is sealed. My previous Yuasa battery was a conventional lead acid and it was non-sealed. There isn't much difference on weight, but it will have very limited maintenance and will withstand more vibrations and high cornering forces. It has same specifications(*) with the one of the BRZ RA JDM car. This one is "Made in Japan". The previous ones was "Made in China". I managed to find it on the 1/3rd of its price, so it was a pretty good bargain
