I clicked on the Amazon link and then clicked on the battery image. Another view of the battery came up, along with the following statement "NICHE Replacement AGM Battery for YTX14-BS Yuasa Honda Yamaha Suzuki Buell Powersports ATV Motorcycle 180CCA 12V Factory Activated Sealed Maintenance Free". You didn't indicate what bike the battery was installed in, but in my 2004 Dyna, the minimum CCA battery I would install is 310. The battery may be undersized for the bike.

The ones I use are 310...and the Designation is YTX20H-BS...The H is important....
Edit: Beware of the Dreaded "L"...Left handed Bastards!!! Tho Some H-D Take a Left Handed Battery. Double Check
