Anyone try this battery Lightning Start
Has anyone tried WPX30L-LS Lightning Start 600+ CCA Battery. The reviews on Amazon are extremely high. I want to get your opinion if you ever used this battery. For 07 sg.

I would like to know also. Do a lot of touring on the back roads and would hate have a battery fail. I have always used the HD batteries, but would like a good battery that is less $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

That's roughly twice as powerful in CCA (cold cranking amps) terms as the original battery, which may just be overkill unless you have a highly tuned engine. It would probably die of boredom starting stock or near stock engines! Battery technology has leapt forward in recent times, but that sounds just a bit over the top! Also check that it is the correct dimensions to fit your battery tray.

east penn mfg. makes the battery then hd sticker goes on it, or auto zone sticker or craftsmen sticker. I bought the exact battery from "batteries are us" saved 40. 50. $ can't remember, but a ton of money.
mine had 2 different stickers in the box with the bat. HD does not make batteries.

I don't have this battery. I do have one with the same specs... it came with a 5 year warranty. Mine is light gray in color.
It's the only battery I have used that will turn my 113 over good so it will crank rather easy. With other battery's if it doesn't crank rather quick it will pull the battery down.
I have had to wait for the battery to get back up from trying to crank it. It can be stubborn when it's hot sometimes.
On most bikes it is a overkill but it has it's advantages. As long as the stator is working properly it will carry more of a load.
