Default Battery recommendations
My battery crapped out. Any recommendations on something stronger than stock?
I got a 1.8kW starter and about 10.7:1. Thanks in advance.

Just yesterday I installed a new battery in my Ultra. It's a "Big Crank" from Battery Mart. Fired the bike up right out of the shipping box. 400 cca, $99.95 with free shipping.

yeah the $100 big crank...I bought mine through amazon for points.

it is made by Deka/ East Penn and is an AGM type battery.

charge overnight before use for longest service life

and check your cables and connections, both ends

Has anyone tried this one? I'm intrigued by the 500cca.
