Scott thanks for posting but with regard to audio and not considering price what is the best battery. Yes the Yuasa has 500cca and 32amp hours but the focus here is what's going give our amplifiers the most juice, for the longest period of time, slowest drain and charges quickly for continued playing. In the car world XS Power is king but they don't make one for HD's. Kinetik is another one that comes to mind.

I don't know if it's the best but I found that the Yuasa GYZ32HL cranks the engine over noticeably better than the stock or equivalent battery.

The first Yuasa I purchased from Amazon ended up having a pinhole behind the label which I found during charging on the bench. So I would recommend putting it on a charge and inspecting it before installing.
