Buying the battery suggested at Batteries Plus is the easiest. They will fill the battery with acid and put a charge on it for you. The less expensive battery, usually found on ebay will need the battery acid added and you will have to charge it. (You will need a battery tender and/or a 6 volt battery charger)
Why is the battery issue for the old Honda's not as easy as buying a car battery?
Modern Car Battery: Lead Acid, Sealed, 12V -Common- Maintenance Free-Usually lasts about 3 years
Old CA95 & 160 Battery: Lead Acid, Vented, 6V Uncommon- Need to keep the battery filled to level with water-Usually lasts 1 maybe 2 years.
I hear that you can get a 6V gel type sealed battery. Just make sure the dimentions are correct (or close) and the ground terminal is on the right side.
