If it is the original battery it is a no brainer, don`t check it, chuck it.

Have it on tender. Since I got it, if it wasn't on tender for a week or so it would need a charge. In SC and garage kep . So not terribly cold.

I went with O'Reillys for my 16 Deluxe, seems to be holding up much better then the one I bought from my dealer.

I have had a good experience with Harley batteries. From what I understand the batteries are made by Deka Big Crank and sold at O'Reilly's

BatteryMart USA made Big Crank in my 12' FLSTF. Good price and really good reviews.
