Default DEKA Battery

I need a new battery for my Dyna and I usually buy batteries from Bohannon battery out of Florida but its out of stock. Anyone have any other places to get DEKA batteries?

I bought my last battery, a Deka, from a motorcycle tire store here in Vegas.

I only mention this to suggest you check other places, perhaps local instead of mail order, to look for your battery.

I usually order my batteries from battery-mart but last season they were on back order so I ended up buying a Duracell from Sam's Club and then a H-D battery for my other bike. Can't wait to sell how well they hold up.
The Big Crank battery seems to last as long as the H-D battery and the H-D battery that came in my '18 Tri-Glide had to be replaced in '21 and all of my batteries ae kept in tenders when not in regular use

depending on which duracell you got they should be the same battery, hd batteries are dekas.

I've ordered from these folks before. No affiliation.

I hope this helps.

+1 for the Big Crank, have used them in my 2007 FLHTC, 2017 FLHTCU and 2003 Sportster, no issues. Make sure you charge them fully before install. They come charged but I top them off before installation.
