Default Which battery for my 2013 FXDF

Hi there, I'm in need of a new battery for my 2013 FXDF. Any recommendations for a quality battery I can get delivered would be helpful. I'd like to avoid my local stealership if possible.

Thanks,
3illy

The best battery I've had for my 07 Street Bob has been a Yuasa that I got from Amazon. Delivered in 2 days. I don't have the model number but you can figure that out easy enough.

I've had good results from Deka batteries. Got my last one last August from someone on Amazon for $86. Looks like they're up to $130 today...

Looks like you can order it through Lowes web site for a lot less, but I've never considered ordering something like that from Lowes...

Does HD still use rebranded Deka batteries for their OEM? I found this local to me:

Wow, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't notice. Looks like I can get one from Lowes:
https://www.lowes.com/pd/Deka-12-Vol...E&gclsrc=aw.ds
for 88 dollars or delivered.
From amazon:
Amazon Amazon
for 129.
Difference being the time of availability. Lowes won't have it until the 29th of June. Amazon says delivery betwixt the 21st and 25. Thinking I can wait a few extra days to save 40 dollars.

Prior to install of the new battery, put it on an overnight charge. The Deka brand battery has two little spacers with it , goes between the battery cables and the posts. Gives a better connection, also clean your cable terminals.
