how many years are you getting out of your touring battery?

 

2010 Ultra, I got 3 years before it started cranking slow, plugged to a charger most of the time when not riding, not religious about that though.

 

yikes.......two 07's. still original batteries. the only bike i ever had to replace the battery on was my 51 panhead in a rigid frame.

just replaced battery in my 2001 dodge van, original battery.

guess i'm lucky with batteries.

 

i got eight years on my softail battery as of aug. 31, 2014. going on three years on my streetgilde this oct. just wondering how long this dress battery gonna last or should i bit the bullet and just buy a new one?

 

7 yrs. on mine it died in my garage Thank God

 

I have 4 yrs on my 2010 RKC and it shows no signs of weakness. I think about 4 is average, with some going out before that.

If it's still cranking hard leave it, when it starts to crank slower, it's time to start thinking about replacement.

 

Four years so far on my 2010. Got the tender after two years because I could see it was drooping a little. As long as I keep using the tender for longer rests, it is good. But not like new. To me, looks like I will need to replace it next year.

 

I replaced the original battery in my 04 Ultra in 2011, just because it was old. It was working fine, but I replaced it anyway. Original Ultra battery is still alive and functioning in one of my tractors.

 

2010 Street Glide, 50k miles, still on the original battery. I throw the tender on if it's going to be parked more than a week, but I'm not religious about it.

 

3 1/2 to 4. I use battery tender most of the time.
