Look at it this way - your current battery is 6 years old. Has it served you well. If yes, then, why not stay with the same one.

PS, this is the very reason I am still married (LOL)

Only two manufacturers of power sports batteries in the USA. East Penn/Deka & Johnson Controls. East Penn makes the stock OEM Harley battery, Big Crank, Duracell gray case (black case made in China), O'Reilly, X-Rated & most other common ones you hear about. Just re-labled. JC makes Interstate Batteries. Yuasa are made here now under contact from others. They & Deka supply to Drag Specialties. I use the Duracel Gray from Batteries Plus. It has a two year warranty.

As of today 3-2-21 the Big Crank is back ordered for a few weeks.
The Mega Crank is in stock.

Who comes up with these names anyway.

I have a Big Crank on order. My last battery lasted three years.

I’ve always had better results with the OEM original HD style battery. Went out and got the Napa power sports model made by East Penn Manufacturing and it was toast exactly 12 months and two weeks. No warranty cause it was over the 1 year mark, and sad thing is that it was always kept on a battery tender.
