Default cca battery for a fxef 1981 superglide

look I have a 325 cca (cold cranking amps) the new
Harley batteries are 330 cold cranking amps other than a lithium battery
is there a dry cell battery put out more amps like 400 that'll fit my fxef superglide?

my magneto sporty use to blow the head light out when ever I hit it so I taped a big end flashlight to the center of the bars in the early 70s but in NYC you dident need much light just enough to keep the NYPD from chasing you

No Warranty on no battery I ever bought... But Experience shows that the Batteries I get at a place called Chrome Battery will do 3 years of Neglect!
I have one of these also
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Drag-Specialties-AGM-Battery-for-Harley-FLST-FXST-FXR-Buell-Models/192204843376?epid=1411799416&hash=item2cc04d2970:g :KuAAAOSwvx1bu2rW:rk:54f:0

it ill be on it's 3rd year, if it makes it, I believe it is a better battery yet. More Money tho...
I don't really care to see what I can spend on a battery, as I do Not take very good care of them!!!!
