Looking for best replacement battery for a 1983 r80rt. So many choices out there.

The volt meter says it charges 14V to 14.4V at road speeds, and 4000-5000 RPM. I recently bought a digital volt meter, that plugs into a cigarette lighter receptacle, will soon be able to compare it with the analog volt meter, to insure it is accurate. However, wet batteries have never been maintenance free. The maintenance required is to check the water level frequently. The water evaporates, over time, so must be monitored and topped off when needed. I have checked mine three times since last October, and it needed water each time, with the level down to the tops of the plates.jhall -
The Airhead charging system should not boil water away from the battery. The voltage regulator is supposed to clip the voltage at around 14.2-14.4v. More than that sustained will harm any battery. Have you confirmed that the regulator is working correctly?
I guess that's why they say YMMV! That has not been that experience with batteries in my /7.
