Get a battery tender. It will make the battery last for years.

every time you park your quad. they come with a quick connect fitting. the tender is automatic so it will not overcharge

A battery tender is different then a charger. It simulates use. It drains and recharges the battery. You can leave it hooked up and on 24/7.

Make sure you always get a Yuasa battery.  I know for the 400ex a good swap is for the Hyabusa battery its a Yuasa same size just more cranking amps and stuff.  My stock Yuasa batter is 5 years old and its finally getting to its end it will hold a charge for about a day then its got juice just enough to crank the quad over slowly and the engine running it recharges and is fine.
