Default Road King battery in a Rocker?

Can you put a battery for a Road King in the Rocker
(I have an extra "like new" battery).

My FCWC battery is 3&1/2 inches thick and 8&1/2 inches wide. The manual does not specify a particular type between softails, other than 12v motorcycle battery. Torque terminals to 60-72in-lbs (not ft-lbs). I'd say drop in what you have and if it fits you are good to go.

I just wanted to make sure that it wouldn't overpower the electrical system.

Thanks

Your electrical system will not use any more than it needs as long as it is 12V.
