Unhappy

I once bought a battery on Internet and wondered how these people could manage with electrolyte in such a case. Well, they sent it dry

I have notice resently (last three months) that when my 2009 Road King does a hot
re-start sometime I will get a starter kick back (hell of a noise).

I usually keep my gauge set on range and I have noticed that the gauge will reset to milage when I start the bike.

I have a feeling that both of these are actually hints that my battery is getting weak. The bike is 2 1/2 years old.

Yeah, I saw them but man are they expensive. Are they really worth it?
