Default Battery time

It’s time for a new battery for my Ultra. The old one was bought on a road trip from an Autozone....lasted two years.

Seeing tons of batteries available online....and pretty fair prices. Are there any recommendations?

I’ve used Harley batteries, Twin Power, and Yusa with no problems.

I would appreciate some input....Thanks

Every time I need a new battery I am in a pinch to get one so I just go to the dealer and buy theirs. They have lasted pretty good so far.

Yuasa for me.
If you take the time to put it on a tender to completely charge before you put it in the bike it will last you a lot longer.
My last one lasted at least 6 years (I didn't start keeping records until after I installed the battery)

Just FYI the brand DEKA is who makes the batteries for HD. Maybe you can find a dealer in your area and save a couple bucks.

I’ve used HD’s AGM for my last two... I keep a battery tender on it in the cooler months. I got 6 1/2 years out of the first one, I’m at 6 years and counting on the current battery. Just like a sore _ _ _ _ , you cant beat it!

Tech Battery Solutions have good prices on Deka Batteries. Free shipping on orders over $75. You may find a 5% off coupon code. They just had 10% off sale yesterday. I have bought 2 this year & both very fresh batteries mfg. within the last month from order, quick shipping.

They also sell other brands/types of batteries including Yuasa. Batteries. Battery tender really helps prolong life if battery sits unused for prolonged time.
