Time for a new battery for my ‘17 Ultra Limited, I’ve narrowed it down to either:
1) Big Crank,ETX30L, 26AH, 400 CCA, Made in USA, $129.95 from Battery Mart
OR
2) Yuasa, GYZ32HL, 32 AH, 500 CCS, Made in USA, $143.63 from Amazon..
I’m leaning towards the Yuasa. But, how is the freshness and quality of batteries from Amazon?

No. Its the original battery, and is 4 years old, which meets my practice of replacing batteries around the 4 year mark before they go belly up. Then, this week, I accidentally left the ignition on for 1 hour. And even with all LED lights
it turned over very slow. So, 3 strikes against it: 1) age, 2) it ran down too quickly, 3) running a battery down is bad for it.

I go to Batteries+ and get their battery. You purchase is in the system if you have an issue with warranty. No Harley Tax and just around the corner.

I also use Batteries + and love that 2 yr replacement warranty. Cant for the life of me figure out why youd want to deal with a web site when you can go local and get one hell of a battery especially if you did end up having an issue you can solve it immediately as opposed to shipping back and waiting for a replacement or possibly some other hold up.
I've been using BatteriesPlus for several years with good results, also. Originally it was the two year warranty and the lower than HD price that lured me, but they seem to last very well. As has been stated, they are pretty much nation wide, so if you have a problem on the road there should be one close. At this time I'm sticking with their AGM Duracell. Maybe in the future I will try the lithium, but the way battery technology is progressing it could be solid state batteries soon.
