No more $169.95 batteries from Harley for my bike. |
The part number for the oem Harley battery is 66010-97E for $157 but doesn't seem to be available. Maybe the motor company IS only selling lithium. If so buy the Deka, , as many have surmised that it's what HD is putting in these bikes. It does make sense since they're manufactured in Lyons , pa which is just an hour away from the York assembly plant. Plus they're American made although I don't know if Harley cares too much about that. It's interesting that they've been using the same battery since 97.

I’ve had really good luck with the Super Start batteries at O’Reilly Auto Parts. I believe it’s an East Penn rebranded product….

The manager of one of the Batteries Plus stores close to my house suggested a Lithium for my bike too. But also, when I asked about an AGM replacement they sell, he said it was from the East Penn Plant too, just labeled Duracell. AS I recall though, it wasn't significantly lower in price than the Harley version. About the Wolverine boots and HJC helmets, you are right. Those are just Wolverine and HJC relabeled with Harley Graphics. There isn't any special customization built-in for Harley specs. AS far as the batteries being special customized, I don't know. |

This Yuasa battery is manufactured in the USA and is 500 CCA versus the OEM 400 CCA. I had one on my ’03 Ultra.

Mega Crank from Battery Mart $110 shipped to your home and it’s more powerful then anything from HD

The mega crank from battery mart is made overseas. You'd have to order the big crank at 130 to get one made here if that matters to you. The Deka battery from Lowes is still the best buy at 106 but they do charge tax which battery mart doesn't.
