That's odd that can get lower price on home pc but not on the ipad.
I have np getting the $132 price on Yuasa's GYZ32HL battery from Phatt on my home laptop.

I'm sure there's not an iPad price and a pc price. However, there is a new site price and an old site price. I'm not an IT guy, but I'm sure there is a difference in software between the two. It's possible the iPad automatically redirects you to the newest and latest site. I have bought plenty of items online and never had a problem before. It didn't matter if I clicked on your link,copy and paste,manually input the IRL,manually put in the part #. They ALL went to the new web site and higher price using my iPad. Using my desk top, I clicked your link and didn't have any problems.

Yup,like you said,it's likely a diff of some kind in the software & or device thats sending some people to the new site with higher price & or leaving other people on the old site with lower price.
Anyone having issues buying the battery for only $132 online could call Phatt perf directly and act like they dont know anythings going on simply asking to make the purchase over the phone for the Yuasa GYZ32HL they saw for $132 on their HD parts website to see if they Honor it having nothing to loose giving it a try.
I am another who has gotten 2 years out of every Deka ETX30 I have ever had. No maintainer on the first two. I live in Oklahoma and can ride once or twice a month even in winter so a maintainer didn't seem that important. After the second 2 year Deka I got a maintainer, simple Schumacher at WalMart. The 2 year record has continued, though I did leave the maintainer on most of the time, have since seen the recommendation against that practice.
After another 2 year Deka I decided it was time for a change. Battery Mart couldn't get the Yuasa battery mentioned above but they could get a Power Source "Lightning Start" WPX30L-LS Which CLAIMED 600 CCA. Battery Mart doesn't list that battery on their web site but they can get it with a phone request. I don't trust the 600 CCA claim but if it is around 450 to 500 in reality, that isn't too bad. It is Chinese, but Battery Mart said the manufacturer was a trusted source they have worked with for a long time. I am just entering my second year so I haven't crossed the Deka 2 year threshold with this battery yet. This battery was about $90 last year. I only mention this as an option if the Yuasa battery has gone up to close to the Harley in store price and you are ready for something other than another Deka. The Dekas never rally failed, they just got tired, slow cranking but never left me stranded.
I have a 2008 Road King 96 CI, stock but with a Cycle Electric voltage regulator after the factory unit failed. The new VR has given excellent service for over 4 years and 40,000 miles (now at over 85,000 total miles.)
Just ordered a Deka for $98, after my China Lighting Start lasted
maybe 16 to 18 mo. I know, I am smarter than to buy anything from
china, but they build a lot of good things out of lead. Like the bearing
that came in my 08 RKC! Good luck with your China Batt, BTSOM..

Thanks, didn't have the benefit of your experience at the time. Will see if my experience matches yours. Thought I made it clear that the Yuasa battery appeared not to be available at the time.

===================
Your not the 1st to have short srv'c life issues with the Litghtning start battery because i have seen a few others guys post here in HD forums over the past few yrs that they had premature failures with that battery.
1 guy went thru 2 of them in 1.5-2yrs and gave up after that.
The guys that are consistently only getting 2yrs or so out of the deka batteries either have excessive engine heat killing them early and or may have some sort charging issues going too.
Deka's ETX30L is an above avg quality battery that i have personally got 7 yrs out of and have also seen them them go 5.5-6yrs in bikes i srvc for other people too.
I installed a Deka agm in my friends 1700cc v-twin 11/2009 that was still going strong last time i rode with him end of 2016 thats now 7+yrs old too.
I decided to try something new and went for Yuasa's new top of the line maint free factory activated GYZ32HL/500cca AGM battery for $132 from Phattperf online that i installed 4/2016.
Prior to installing the new yuasa battery i ensured it was fully charged and let it sit overnight to stabilize.
Then for ha ha's i checked it's voltaeg/cca's with a digital battery tester i have and it showed 12.95-13v's & 620cca's or so & approx 60-70deg f.
But your supposed to test cca's @ " 0 " deg f so when i checked cca's @ 60-70 deg f higher temp the battery will put out more cranking amps & why it showed 620cca's or so when i tested vs the factory 500cca rating.
CA/cranking amps are checked at 32deg f which is always a higher reading/result,but o dont know if the digital battery tester thats is an automatic tester compensates for temp (battery or outside air temp) when processing cca's
Hope to get a min of 4.5-5+yrs out of the Yuasa,but only time will tell on that one.
Great info shard by lots of folks on this topic. Now that we are no longer able to kick start our bikes, batteries and starters are pretty friggin important. It's darn near impossible for one guy to push start these bikes, especially baggers!
