Never had to get one for the nomad but ended up getting two for my magna. Advanced Auto was always the best deal for me. in stock and cheap

I found one for about $84 on batteryweb.com, but then a week after I ordered it there they told me it was on a 6 week back order. I ended up paying $120 + tax at the local dealer because I was tired of waiting.

Anyhow, their price was good, but if you order one there make sure it's in stock up front so you're not surprised like I was.

A long lasting battery is Oddesa I think.. A dry cell battery... It costs but will last a very long time..

You mean the Odyssey. They make some really good Mil spec stuff.

I tried hard to buy one, but they don't make one with the physical dimensions of a Nomad battery. They make one for a Harley that will fit, because physically it is a lot smaller, but it's also less amp-hours than the Yuasa battery. I would have modified the battery carrier of my Nomad to get a larger (Electraglide type) one in, but I would also have to raise the seat, so it was just a lost cause.
