Default 2 Thumbs Up On Battery Replacement

The battery finally died on my Ultra. It lasted over 5 years, so it had a good "life". Lasted much longer than I expected.

Two thumbs up to ThrottleX Batteries for their replacement. Perfect fit, fully charged, dropped right in...... Looks like they're located in Grand Rapids, Mi.

Delivered in one day even with the "free" shipping. Great company to deal with.

I just bought a battery from battery mart....looks like the same battery. Mine is a Deka same ah rating and cranking amps $ 88 free shipping. Wonder if they are all made at the same company and then throw different sticker on them...hmmm!

I think there's only 3 companies that make batteries. Then they're shipped to hundreds of battery companies and labeled. I know Deka's are made in PA by East Penn. They are among the best.
