I would get the most amps that would fit in the size battery you need. How old is your nattery.

Its a new battery but the person I bought it from but its a WalMart lawn and harden battery. Wet cell. I think I need to add some more distilled water to it. But would rather just buy a new one. I just don't know what type of battery to get. Wet cell...sealed. How ever many amps or if there is a certain battery model number that I can search for

You can go with a wet cell, it won't hurt anything, in fact if you are the kind of person that will check the battery fluid level on a regular basis I prefer them. If you are concerned about it being on its side and the battery acid spilling go with a sealed battery. For a 260 I would get at least a 10 AH battery.

I just looked at a couple 250cc service manuals, that is why I posted 10 AH (amp hours), like I said before I prefer as many cranking amps as I can get, so 10 would be the least in my way of thinking.

Thank you very much. Extremely helpful cause honestly. I don't think that lawn and harden battery that was in there was worth a

I don't know, the battery in my riding mower has a lot of cranking amps, I also bought it at Wal Mart because it was twice the power of the others I saw. I had friend that put one in his top boxe on a Kymco People 150 and it did well for him he just lost a lot of storage space.
