Battery for your Arctic-Cat Alterra

The recommended part is a YTX12-BS. Match that code (or a listed equivalent) - powersports batteries are size- and terminal-specific, so the code matters more than the brand. Worth adding: a battery tender - sitting unused is what kills most bike and ATV batteries, and a tender keeps it healthy over the off-season.

How do I keep a atv battery from dying?

Sitting unused is the biggest killer - powersports batteries self-discharge and sulfate when parked. Keep it on a battery tender/maintainer during the off-season, and it'll last far longer.
