So I have this battery... it's dead again. I replaced the stock harley battery with a parts unlimited battery from drag before last riding season because the harley battery tested bad. The bike sat all winter inside a heated garage at my buddy's house, had it charging for a day before I pulled it out of storage. Ran great, started fine, no issues at all. Few weeks go by, riding every couple days when it has been nice outside. I go out last week to leave for work and click click click. So I bring the battery to work to test it and charge it. Tested fine, charging system is fine in the bike. Ran good after charging it again, until tonight. Click click click. Just won't stay charged, although it tested as "good" on the load tester.

So all that being said, it's time for another battery. Which is the best way to go? Get a factory Harley battery, or look aftermarket for a better one? I'm not as familiar with batteries for bikes/power sports as I am with car batteries.

Thanks,
Wrench

 

First off, you can't just let a battery sit for months without it being charged.
Next year pull the battery and put it on a tender for the winter.
