Default Battery Recommendation
15' Ultra Limited - Time for a new battery, which one do you recommend? OEM or another one? My local dealer replaces them (with labor) for $189.- I don't know! Thoughts?

$110 delivered to your door & ~30 minutes to self install, if you take your time.

+1 on the Big crank. I have them on both of my Harley's and used them on my Gold wing. They come set up and charged, although I put my battery tender on them while pulling the old battery. They ship it to my door in a couple of days and shipping is free. Put that $90, or so you save, in the fuel tank and ride it!

Your local NAPA store has the same battery part number ETX-30L. It is the same as the batterymart site above. 9/10 in stock always no waiting for shipment.

Yuasa GYZ32HL is the one I chose for my 2009 FLHTC, 500 CCA. I did not check fitment for the 2015. Can be found online for same price or lower than OEM battery. Powersport Superstore has them listed for 149 free shipping.
Noticed a huge difference in starting of my bike

I went with a Duracell Ultra AGM battery from the local Battery Plus. No particular reason, it was in stock and I wanted it that day. 2 year warranty didn't hurt.
