Hey Guys

In your experiences what's the BEST BATTERY to buy for your bike ?

What I'm looking for is the BEST cost not considered $

There's a difference as you all know between: A Beetle Bug and a BENTLY.

That's what I'm looking for in a battery A BENTLY ~ TOP NOTCH.

I await you choices and why if you will

 

I like the HD batteries. Odyssey is a good battery too IMO.

 

I would always buy HD battery,I run mine for 6 years,and it was used before.

 

Big Boar, but they are real A-holes to deal with.

 

Odyssey supposedly has one thats a military grade glass mat battery, that should last 10 years with minimal care. I've hears it expensive, but if your not dealing with dead batteries every 2-3 years it might be what your looking for.,,

 

JP Cycles glass matt around 100 bucks mine is 7 years old and still cranks like a bear,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,http://www.jpcycles.com/product/350-432

 

I've had mixed results with all kinds of batteries over the years. I've seen HD batteries last seven years and some of them only lasted two years. I've also seen aftermarket batteries from such places as Autozone, Oreillys, Napa batteries last eight years and some of them only lasting about two.

I don't really have any first hand experience with the Odessy or Big Boar types.....

I personally like using batteries from places like Autozone and other large chain car part stores. Last one I bought for my Ultra came with a three year warranty.

 

HD's are as good as any you'll find...

 

I've got an HD one on Evo. My 03 Dyna and 07 Buell still have their original batteries. I used an Odyssey some years ago, but it only lasted a couple of years before packing in.

 

Here's a tip, a lot of the better batteries are expensive, so they may set on the shelves for quite a while before they are sold. So if possible get a battery from a local and check out the date on it.
