So I searched online and found it cheaper, already charged and filled. Perfect. I'm looking at these two and was wondering if anyone could chime in about these batteries. Which one should I go with? Which is the better quality? Thanks in advance.

I think I'd go for the second one DKRB4 . . . MH3JS. It appears to be a "gel" battery which I have heard good things about. I will not buy any lithium stuff - don't want my bike to catch fire. Heck, for the price you can't go wrong either way. I used to buy Sears Gold batteries ($150.00 a pop). They did last me five years with no trickle charge in the off season though. Since you don't have kick starting I would buy the battery that had the highest amperage rating regardless of price - your starter motor will love you for it too.
