Anyone changed their battery ?
Anyone changed their battery yet ? Either for a new HD one or a different replacement. Maybe a stronger battery.
I say this because even though I put my PA on a tender most of the time, last week after leaving it only 3 days unplugged it was flat.
I've seen what seem to be better performance batteries on line here. What do you think ?
• HD original 12Ah with CCA (cold cranking amps) 200A (sealed lead/acid I think)
• Gel performance 14Ah with CCA 250A
Can I just swap ? Do I have to pull out the main fuse before ?

I can't comment on compatibility, I'm pretty sure that you will need to disarm the alarm so pulling the main fuse wouldn't be a bad idea, perhaps one of the Tech's on here will be able to comment from a position of experience.

I'm thinking about installing this battery.

1. Models with security: Disable security system.
a. Verify that fob is present.
b. Turn OFF/RUN switch to RUN.
2. Remove right steering head cover.
3. See Electrical → POWER DISCONNECT → Main Fuse → Main Fuse. Remove main fuse.
4. Models with security: Turn OFF/RUN switch to OFF.
After battery install, install main fuse and right steering head cover.

I think one of the latest software updates corrected the battery drain issue. Before buying another battery that will also drain be sure you have the latest software update. It's a free service form HD.
