This is what I just put in, 600 CCA. Even in the cold it spins the engine like its a Gatling gun. Very awesome.

Do you know what the country of manufacture for that battery is? TIA

I believe my stock Harley-Davidson battery, when it was new, had approximately 400 CCA and a new Deka ETX30L replacement also has 400 CCA. However many people are talking about the high performance Yuasa battery which has 500 CCA.
For a stock 2014 Street Glide, is 500 CCA harmful to the bike or waste of money?
If it is not harmful then what will 500 CCA give me that a 400 CCA cant'?

maybe. maybe not. your battery is going on 2 years old. seems like the average is between 2 and 3 years on these batteries. sure, you've got the odd guy out who says he got 9 years out of his battery, but then you've also got the ones who get a little over a year. depending on your locale (earth is a pretty vague description), could make the difference. heat is a bigger killer than the cold. I live in la, after 3 years, I consider it living on borrowed time.

To add to its age, I've also pulled the 110" and replaced it with a 126" engine. I'll be looking pretty soon at something new. Threads like this have piqued my interest as of late.
