Looking for some options here, my fairly new "Harley" battery lasted me 1.5 years and I don't want to buy another one at the dealer for $150+ for such a short life. So what battery are you running that is a good "Harley" replacement? My stock battery is the 65989-97C model, so any recommended sites?

 

Advanced auto magna extreme has been great to me. Got it for 60 bucks with all their coupons. It was over a year ago but worth checking out. A bunch of members here bought it.

Not sure if this fits your bike but look for advance auto coupons online. Sometimes they offer 20% off first time online buyers. Buy it online and pick it up at the store.

I'm curious to see other options. I might just change it anyways.

I still have my original HD battery from 2008 and 17,500 miles later it still works. You must have got a bad battery IMO. $150 is a lot for a battery though when my SUV battery is almost 1/2 the price with 850cca and double the size. Supply and demand I guess.

 

Still running my 07 original battery, still going strong.

I believe HD batteries are Deka AGM batteries.
East Penn Manufacturing makes Deka batteries. dekabatteries dot com for a cross reference and retail sales or distributor.

 

My fxd came with a Yuasa

 

Still running original battery; Dec. '05 build date...knock wood! Have tender, but almost never used.

 

Last battery I bought was from AZ. Activated it myself and did the initial charge procedure per the manual.

 

I got mine from batteries plus 3yrs ago & it's still going strong. They're not cheap, I think it was only $15 less then Harley but it was Monday & my local dealer is closed on Mondays. It has a better warranty then Harley

 

Get an EarthX, it will be the last Battery you buy for it and you can mount it in any position. You can get them on amazon now.

type TRT41 and save $40 when checking out and its only 64.99. I picked it up that day.

Can't take credit for this. Piginablanket pointed me in the direction.
