Replacement Battery Lifan kpx250

Has anyone found a good replacement for the battery that ships in the Lifan kpx250. It’s marked as Mgs12-9-BS I can’t seem to find one that’s sizes the same and easily available on Amazon or what not. It measures LxWxH. 5.25x2.75x5.25

Here's a few. The dealer should replace it though if it's bad. Battery 12N9-BS

I will give them the benefit of the doubt since I feel like I might be being a bit impatient.

Update: They have been in contact and the interactions so far have been good. Back on the road soon.

Replaces.

I got a replacement from Venom. Super quick and friendly about it. I also got one from Amazon because I am super impatient. The Amazon batt. fits with 0” room to spare. It’s a confirmed fit. Ships filled and charged.

Might help someone someday. Not a single motor sports place or motorcycle place had a suitable replacement. Most pushed a smaller 8ah battery that was narrower and a bit shorter requiring some spacers to fit snug.

Thanks for the link. I talked to a local dealer about the KPX yesterday and he said having to replace the stock battery within the first year in most cases is the only issue he's had with these bikes. He recommended the AGM type batteries (like this looks to be) because they are sealed, are more reliable, and hold their charge longer. For $30, I may just install one of these during assembly.
