Default Need a battery

I've read 20 threads about batteries on this forum and now I can't find any of them! Sorry for having to revisit this topic, but I need a good battery for my '06 FLHT. I'll be ordering online, where is the best deal? Thanks!

I found it cheaper but I have not delt with this company so I can't vouch for them, but this is where I am going when the time comes. 83.00

One of the links below has same batterymart battery by same mfg (Deka) @ better/lower price by approx $12-13 which is a tank of fuel or a nice lunch.

I also included a few more links to a few other great choices ,not talking cheapest batteries here because you can get 30L series batteries for touring HD for $60-70 online with same cca as stock hd thats 385cca.

But I listed quality long lasting maint free agm batteries (Yuasa & Deka both mfg'd in USA in PA.) that have a proven track record while being significantly cheaper then HD's repl agm battery (approx $175-180) along with more CCA's too.

Scott

================================================== ===
No need to look any further because here's a list i put together of good reliable high quality maint free factory activated ETX30L AGM replacement batteries for touring HD's.

OK,HERE'S 1 OF IF NOT THE BEST (NOT CHEAPEST) MAINT FREE AGM'S ON THE MARKET TODAY FOR TOURING HD'S THATS LONG LASTING WITH 500CCA'S TOO. (IT'S A YUASA GYZ32HL & WE ALL KNOW YUASA MAKES GREAT BIKE BATTERIES SOME OF WHICH ARE NOW MFG'D IN PA ,JUST LIKE DEKA,HMMM!/LOL!)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/111826812713

HERES THE BEST ALL AROUND BATTERY THATS PRICED RIGHT ($80 LESS THEN HD'S SAME TYPE REPL BATTERY) THATS QUALITY BUILT & LONG LASTING WITH GOOD CRANKING POWER TOO,IT'S DEKA'S ETX30L AGM MAINT FREE BATTERY WITH 400CCA FOR ONLY " $97.98 TO YOUR DOOR" .

HERE ARE 2 LINKS TO THE SAME DEKA BATTERY FOR APPROX $12-13 LESS THEN " BATTERY MARTS PRICE" OF $109.99 WHICH IS AN APPROX $12-13 SAVINGS THAT GETS YOU 6 +GALS OF FUEL OR A NICE BREAKFAST OR LUNCH!/LOL!)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Deka-ETX30L-...item1a102d4a8c

http://www.batterymart.com/SEARCH.html?q=ETX30L

IF YOUR ON A BUDGET HERE'S AN AGM FROM BATTERY MART THAT STATES IT HAS 420CCA ON THE BATTERY (DESCRIPTION STATES 410CCA) FOR $84.95 TO YOUR DOOR . IT HAS A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK ON THE WEBSITE BUY I HAVE NO EXP WITH IT.

Follow Battery Marts sales. Last battery I got from them was $99.00 with free shipping. That was the Big Crank EXT 30L.

I ended up buying the Big Crank from BatteryMart. Reviews of both the product and vendor looked good. My poor bike is struggling to start and I'm headed to a rally next weekend that's 200mi out of town so I need to change it before I leave so I don't get stuck.

Not really.

You must have had a special discount coupon because batterymarts price for the big crank etx30l has normally been $109.99 for quite quite a while,at least 2yrs i am aware of.
