Autozone Battery is $ 40.00 cheaper then Harley. Should I buy one ?

 

Actually, I recommend Advance Auto/AutoCraft batteries...same as OEM (e.g. Deka).

 

BaterryMart.com has my touring battery at $80 less than Harley.

 

No.

Get one from Napa, or any other place that sells batteries made by East Penn / Deka.

I have no idea if Autozone battery is good or not. BUT I do know that "Big Crank" is a great battery. It's made by Deka....same company that makes Harley batteries. Last time I checked, BatteryMart was selling Big Crank for $90 with free shipping. I bought one about 3 years ago and it arrived at my door in 2 days. Still cranks like new.

 

Be sure it the same configuration of yours and AGM absorbed glass mat gel battery with no vent tubes. I know Walmart has theirs that fits my Softail. Been running it a few year now and it works great. It's made in China unlike their very reliable car batteries however.
I paid about $85 for it. It's already last more the 1/2 what Harleys $200+ battery and I have had two Harley batteries that lasted around 5 years. My third battery in my 04.

 

Stores such as Auto Zone sell the cheapest batteries to make you think your getting a good deal, they're not worth spitting on. Do like others suggest, spend the extra money and get a good quality battery, it's well worth it in the long run.

Inexpensive batteries. Mine's 3 years old & cranks my 107" easily.

 

Just compare the batteries.
From what I can tell, the NAPA, Autozone, O'Reilly's, Big Crank and Harley are all the same Deka battery.

NAPA was on sale recently for $89 and carries a 1 year warranty.

This subject is still being discussed.

 

I use Autozone for a lot of stuff, I mean you almost have too for good prices on auto repair and maintenance stuff,
But a battery is about the last thing I'd get there.
I get that HD batteries are over priced, but there are too many places that offer reliable batteries nation wide.
NAPA's a good bet, locally "Battery's Plus" is a place I've used for 20yrs,
But Autozone or the local Fleet supply,, Nope.
