Default Suggest a battery brand

I'm on my third battery already and have only owned my bike 5 years. I've had a Harley battery, a Duralast and a Wal Mart brand and none has lasted more than two years. Can anyone suggest a good brand? And yes, I do use a battery tender. What sucks the most is the price of them and the crappy warranty!

Deka, so far we've had four of them in four different bikes and all are still alive and well.

Yuasa GYZ series battery , you can tell that they actually spend money making a better battery, the posts have threaded brass inserts in them, and they have more CCA (500) than an hd battery.

We use Yuasa brand exclusively where I work (offshore). Owing to our experience with them, I'll be giving Yuasa my business when it comes time to replace my OEM battery. My OEM battery, after 2 years, seems perfectly OK so far.

Many different brand names are actually the same battery. The Deka EXT-30L is sold under different brands, but Battery Mart mentioned above has the best price. No brass inserts in the posts though. Available through many auto parts stores, $117 for me at NAPA. Get and use a battery tender if you don't have one.
