In short, I need a new battery.

Here's the rest:

I don't know if anyone remembers my post here: itistheride.boards.net/thread/5066/tao-atm-50-battery-recharging. Long story short, I got the voltage regulator people told me to get, but it still wasn't charging...

...So I opened the battery bay up...

Come to find my battery had a crack in it and was leakin' acid.

So, I come to you as to what battery I should buy.

Found this one on Amazon for almost $40 (yikes): UPG UT6.5L 12N6.5-3B Sealed AGM Power Sport Battery

My battery (pictured below) is a DONG JING 12N6.5 (I'm guessing that's the one that came with the moped)

So what should I get? I'm looking for a cheap battery. Should I get the exact one I already had? What is 12N? Why not 12V? Also, would I have to get a 6.5 amp battery? Or can I go above 6.5 amp? What are the pros/cons?

this is the one i bought for my atm50 last year: www.ebay.com/itm/12V-7AH-High-Performance-Battery-for-YTX7A-BS-Kasea-Buggy-ATV-Scooter-Go-Kart-/360817910100?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item54026c6154

i got it for under $25 shipped. he raised the prices since then so i'd shop around before you buy.

Thanks for the suggestions, ya'll.

Sounds good. Is there a specific type of battery that is the "best" for mopeds? I am a college student so I'm on a budget. So... you know, a battery that is the best bang for the buck

Getting a battery for your scoot first get the right size so it fits in the scoot battery compartment, then the next thing is get one that the CCA(COLD CRANKING AMPS ) is higher than 100 the higher the better. Most of your cheap batteries the CCAs are well below 100 and that creates a problem if your scoot needs a lot of cranking to start it will deplete the battery in a couple of attempts. If the scoot needs a lot of cranking to start then you have another problem, a good adjusted motor and carb it should only take 1 or 2 short hits on the start button for it to start.
