the AGM batteries are ok and you can buy them direct from places like ebay. it seems the older (cheaper) acid filled batteries have become a bit harder to buy so if you want that type I'd get in touch with your local bike shop and see if they have a licence to carry battery acid. I'v got AGM batteries on all my bikes and just give them the occasional top up charge over winter and they seem fine

its definitely harder to buy a bike battery since the new regulations on acid were introduced. Easy to get the battery, hard to find someone to fill it for you!

I buy most of my batteries from mdsbattery.co.uk, you'll find all batteries these days are maintenance free sealed type, it's the only way that couriers allow acid to be shipped.
I've not bought a SD battery from them as I have no need of one yet and I don't know the numbers.

I had to buy one last year from Halfrauds while out riding my Harley nowhere else to get one on a Sunday paid full price 😢 it’s worth getting a trade discount card with them if you can to get discount plus sometimes they do special offers but rarely when you need one,I bought 5 batteries last year but as you say shop around😁
