Diehard batteries
Is anyone using this battery? If so, any problems? All of mine have been junk. I'm on my fourth in 2 years! Sears replaces them so I don't pay but damn thats bad. I just pulled one out of my bike and it was leaking from the top. It's only nine weeks old and sits at 12.61 volts. I'm starting to think my bike has a bad ground. I'm hoping thats not the case.

Wouldn't the AGM battery from HD be worth the headaches you are getting from the DieHards? Understand Sears is replacing them under warranty, to me Sears has proven something, crappy product but willing to replace on their dime.

I just figured a diehard should be a good battery, it's a diehard. It's cheaper then HD AGM so i bought one, but apparently there not as good. I think I'll get an HD today and give it a shot.
I have a friend that raves about how good the Interstate brand motorcycle battery is. I dunno, never had a problem with mine, and all of the metrics that I replaced the battery on I went with a YUASA battery

Some are claiming that Deka makes Harley's batteries. Whether this is true or not.....?? And whether it is still true or not......??

Years ago I stopped at Sears to pick up a batt. for my shovel, The sales counter guy (idiot) said they didn't have one and they didn't carry motorcycle batts. during the winter. WTF? Never went back after that, now I buy my Batt. from the local indy. I would rather spend my money in a locally owned business anyway. Sears sure ain't what it used to be!
Almost forgot- I don't buy tires for our vehicles there any more either.
That one smart *** cost Sears alot of money over the years.
