I just purchased a used 2004 Speedster and the battery is dead, I need to buy a replacement but need to buy one at the local walmart. Can anyone tell me what AH I should get?

What is the AH of your current battery? I would recommend sticking to the same as what you have, see if Walmart has one with the same AH and go with that.

I read somewhere it's 12V - 30AH, but I can't remember what model.
Any modern full size battery will be more than that.
It's the extra reserve capacity your trying to go for.

See if your Walmart caries Optima Yellow top marine batteries. They are the best.

I have one in my 97 Speedster and my 04 Jeep Liberty... spins it like a top.

It's a tight fit for me in the Speedster, but it's going on 3 years and has never failed me yet.

Considering you should get 3-4 years of good use out of it, it's worth the price.

If you have to go with the Walmart brand, make sure you get the "Maxx" with the 3 year free replacement warranty.
They change suppliers of their brand occasionally.

People either love or hate Everlast batteries.
I have never seen a middle of the road review on them.
Most of the time the prorated price is more than the battery when on sale.

The Seadoo manual says the battery size should be L x W x H... 10.5"x 6.75" x 9.375"
The Optima is 6.825" W, that's what I meant by tight fit, but it did.
