Default another lowsy battery thread.. Yuasa?
Has anyone ever heard of Yuasa batteries, or experience with them? Need to replace my battery (after only 3 years, yes it's the battery..had issues last year, cranking amps went to crap, HD won't do anything about it because it's a battery).. and Amazon has these for $80..
Amazon Amazon


Also JPCycles "High Outputs" are like $115 or something, which I'd be okay with because I read somewhere that they're made by Interstate batteries.

Then I also found these online

http://www.batterymart.com/p-Big-Cra...st-flst-1570cc

but know nothing about them.. Anywho.. My dealer has the HD battery for my bike..um.. $180... No.

Yuasa batteries are standard from the factory on Japanese bikes, I've never had any problems with them.

Check with Batteries Plus. I needed one for my '03 sportster 1200. All that I had ever found before only had a 6 mo warranty. Batteries Plus had one for $99 and it has 2 yr warranty with free replacement, not prorated.

Batterymart sells the "Big Crank" made by Deka, Deka makes Harley's OEM batteries.

You'll save about 50% over the Dealer markup and get it in 2 days.

Look up odyssey batteries, made in USA, and sold at a good price by a board sponsor. ($90 or so) there is a thread on here about it.
