Here is my battery upgrade thread.

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/showt...1081119&page=1

720 Cranking Amps Antigravity Lithium Ion


If you notice, the terminals are much better than standard motorcycle battery terminals.

If you notice the date of thread, I have had it long enough to make an evaluation. It has never been on a tender or charger. I sometimes go for a while without riding due to ongoing health issues and ridiculous amount of heavy rain, yet it always spins my engine up quickly without hesitation.

Going with all LED lights also reduced my electrical load, making more power available for starting etc.

They are .8kw I used a no name starter from ebay like 5 years ago with a high comp motor and still no problems. 1.2kw was $138.00. When I went to 11.1:1 on the comp I had to install compression releases...

AGM is a good way to go. Not sure on the longevity of the lithium yet and how they respond to a tender. Battery freeze iz my worry, like with cell phones and such.... An AGM is a deep cycle battery.
