Default Where do you guys get your batteries?

My 2008 battery just died. With tax at the dealer, It'll be right at $200.

I like that my last factory battery lasted 8 years but still seems like a lot of money for what you get.

Do most of you guys get batteries at the dealer?

Your battery lasted 8 years, get another OEM.

I hate quoting people to disagree but there are many better. My last on the Road King was an Odyssey which lasted over 5 years. When it died I put an Interstate in it.

Everyone has an opinion...I run Deka batteries in everything I own.
They last easily 3 times longer in my Kenworth than any other battery I've ever run.
There are batteries that are "just as good" but I will stand by the statement that there are none better.
