Thanks for the input guys. I think I will stick with the same style as OEM. I cant complain it lasted 6 years.

I had started a topic on this not long ago.. i can't find it, actually i didn't look, but if i recall Deka makes HD batteries, which are also the Big Crank batteries with a different label..so..they're all pretty much the same battery..
and i ordered mine here:

http://www.tristatebattery.com/etx20...ery-p-981.html

got to me like 3 days later, needed to top off the charge with a trickle charger, but it says that in the paperwork.

Same link I posted earlier and bought the Deka because they do make HD batteries.

BAttery Plus here also.

My ORG batt went out last spring on my 07... With my senior disc. it was 92+tax. for the new BP+.

They are 2 blocks away and HD dealer is Over 100 mile round trip and the HD batt was $129 plus tax.. so I thought I'd try one..

Nope.
Just did that, got the wrong one delivered. They did offer to exchange it. By the time I get finished paying for shipping and all. I could have bought one from the dealer.

I'm surprised they wouldn't cover return shipping if they shipped you something different than you ordered.

That's strange I had zero problems getting mine from Batterymart and I even changed my order after my initial one. Give us an update and let us know the issue and outcome.
