Riding season is just getting underway around Ohio and I need to replace my battery on my 2012 Road Glide. Seems the battery is not always up to the task of starting when it's hot. Been reading posts about Big Crank and others but no one mentions a brand new agm battery from Yuasa that has 500 cca and big heavy duty terminal posts. It is Yuasa GYZ32HL - not any cheaper than Moco battery but hopefully better . My Indy just showed me one and I'm going to try it. Anyone tried one - I think it's pretty new ?

 

Sounds like a good idea!

 

Is it the same size as the one you're replacing? Not much use if it doesn't fit.

 

I have used Yuasa batteries several times. Make sure you trickle charge it to full charge before using it.
Not familiar with the one you posted through

 

DEKA (Harley OEM) from Tri State Battery. $97 shipped to your door.

 

I bought a 385 CCA last week and it spins my 96 TC over fine.

 

For those of you who don't know, it was 76 degress in Ohio on Sunday and it is 35 degrees (for the high) today (Tuesday). Welcome to Ohio!

Anyway, I am in the same boat Satman. Can't decide what to do. Let me know how much you pay out the door for that battery.

 

No matter what battery you choose, they ALL need to be on a tender. I don't care what brand it is, it needs to be fully charged once in a while.

I have used Big Crank and HD batteries and neither lasted as long as they could of until I started using trickle chargers. HD battery in my Indian has lasted 5 years so far. Had a Big crank I never used a charger on and it lasted 2 yrs.

 

I always use Harley batteries and they always last at least six to seven years. I never used a tender but I don't store my bike for the winter. I won't change from Harley to save a few dollars over seven years.

 

My bike was purchased in August '08. Still on stock battery & it's always on tender when sitting in the garage.
