Default Best Battery for Electraglide

Sucks when you get on your bike to get off to work and the battery ***** the bed. I knew it was coming it has been a little weak these days, even on my trickle charger. Got 10 years out of it, stock battery in my 2006 Electraglide. Can't complain about that!! So.........what do I get gentlemen?? Good quality and a good price??

Thanks!!

Al

10 years, man were you pushing your luck. DEKA most would suggest, probably under $125.

Ordered this and it's been working much better than my 1 year old 400cca Westco.

So far so good but if I would have had a warning I would have bought a lithium Ion just to try. Have been reading good reviews on them. But like me OP seems to be stuck and going to have to get whatever he can.

========================

For the same type AGM fact activated maint free 400cca batt your bike came with new then get a deka/Big Crank or Intimidator battery Deka mfg's under mult diff name is your best bet for realisitic cost with proven reliability.

Also same agm batt autozone sells at significantly higher price.

See link below for that batt @ only $109 to your door in 1-2 days/free S&H vs HD's $180 or locally at auto store for $130-140 for same basic batt
not inc tax & core fee for old batt.
