best aftermarket battery for 2015 570 Sportsman

Ok , I'm looking to replace my factory battery and I am looking for opinions based on experience for the best aftermarket battery for a 2015 Sportsman 570 EPS. Cost is not a issue over dependability. Just want a good reliable battery! What do you guys suggest?

Good, important info on the Torq Locker.

Stumbled onto this thread and found some really good info that I wasn't aware of before. There's been a couple of hiccups but Torqmasters seems to have dealt w/ them and had excellent customer service. Not associated w/ them at all and have never purchased any of their products.

10″ wide front tires on stock wheels – ’11 Sportsman 800

Was wrenching on my new to me sportsman 800 last night and realized that the front tires were 25x10x12 489s. Stock size was 25x8x12 correct? I was under the impression that anything wider that an 8 would rub on the TRE if mounted on the stock wheels. Here are a few pics of the tire sizes and the clearance to the tie rod, which is about 1/2" or maybe a little more. Seeing this has got me reconsidering buying a set tires and wheels and just going with a new set of rubber. Anyway onto the pics:

Front tire size, no wheel spacer either

Tie rod clearance @ 1/2"

Relocating battery terminals

After reading all the threads on here I ordered a battery tender Jr. And these cables and lugs.

https://smile.amazon.com/Polaris-Spo.../dp/B01NCERJ6B

No idea how anyone can jump or be the jumper with this atv.

From what I understand these cables are shorter than desired.

I am thinking I still will need to mount them under the storage box and the tender wires can be near the light for easier access. Will need to remove the storage to jump or be jumped.

I thought about cutting the box but then I can’t easily take it off.

Any other ideas?
