You can call the reviewers on the HD website idiots…but the lithium has horrible reviews.
My good friend with a 17 RG put a lithium in his, is meticulous about maintenance and stores his bike at the dealer in a climate controlled environment each winter and his lithium lasted him less than 2 years. I’ll pass for now. |
Deka makes the Harley batteries. When my local dealer gets batteries, they come on a Deka truck

I've always had great luck with Harley's batteries. My buddy got 11 years out of one in a Dyna. Harley cheaps out on a lot of stuff like shocks and valve lifters but their batteries are first rate and seem to be quite dependable. Personally I don't want to experiment with anything else when the OEM product is that good. I won't cheap out on my batteries and gladly pay Harley's inflated price.

I understand your thinking, I generally don't cheap out on important parts either but if you could get literally the same battery with different brand labels on it for significantly less money I don't see the problem with doing it.

I'll pass on those Renegade batteries as they are made in China
