Default Battery advice needed

My Fatboy just had its 3 year birthday and the battery in need of replacement from years of cranking those 103 cubes. Which brand of battery should I get, or which brand of battery is most common around here. Thanks.

Living in Europe, I don't have access to a wide selection of battery brands and types.

I was using a AGM type battery for my all bore 107" (RIP) and will be using the same battery for the S&S 124" Hot Set Up kit.

The HD battery is good, but you can get one made by the same factory from batterymart.com for a lot less.

Big Crank from BatteryMart.com. About $90 with fast free shipping.

Whatever you buy, get a Battery Tender. It could have lasted longer then 3 years.

Yes this......I forgot to mention that BatteryMart has package deals where you can bundle a battery and tender for less than buying a HD battery alone.
