Carl, I don't have the information for an H1, but for my H2 I just get a generic AGM that with dimensions that fit in the battery box and a reasonable amp-hour rating. The one I've been using is sold for replacements in UPSs and emergency lighting. It has tabs, so I put matching connectors on the H2's wires. These days they're around $20-$25, I think.

+1, I used a Moto Bat on my H2, nice battery. Not sure if the H1 regulator charges too high or not like the H2 does, might need one of Jim's regulators to keep it from overcharging. AGM don't like that.
