Anyone using the Deka battery, if so how does it compare to stock and where did you buy it from?

 

Yea, I put an ETX20L in my '04 Dyna in January. So far, outstanding service. Never fails to spin my TC88A like a top. It's a Deka 310 CCA AGM battery I got from Advance Auto Parts re-branded as their MagnaPower series. No complaints at all so far. Oh, except for the fact that the battery case is gray and my black FXDP has no battery cover. I had to paint the outside of batt with bed liner paint. But I got the batt for about $65 OTD minus the core, as I recall, so no complaints at all.

 

Do you need spacers for the cable hook ups?

 

I did not, no.

Although the ETX20L came with what were, I guess, small round brass spacers. Not so much spacers as very thick washers. I didn't use em. They were in the way of my Battery Tender connectors.

 

Thanks for the info

 

Don't have an advanced auto parts, anyone have an online source?

 

DEKA makes the stock Harley battery. American made and as you probably know by now, about 60% of the Dealer price.

 

I'm not pushing them at all, but Advance Auto sells online & ships. And no ship charge if you're willing to wait. You loose the core charge, however (only $6).

The way I got such a good deal on mine was to order it online using a promo code I got from someone here on the forum, but specify I would pu it at my local Advance. That way, I got the core charge back plus I got a great $ on the batt.
