They have a strong initial power output, but about a 3X greater discharge rate under a parasitic load, not good for a late model HD with a clock and ECU. I highly recommend Big Crank AGM (Deka).

This is my only beef with Yuasa batteries
From http://www.yuasabatteries.com/faqs.
How is Warranty handled on a Yuasa battery?
Yuasa Battery, Inc. does not handle warranty issues directly. All inquiries should be directed to the dealer where the battery was purchased. The dealer's distributor sets the warranty period and handles all warranty claims. The warranty time frame and terms are not specified by Yuasa.
From Amazon
Product Warranty: For warranty information about this product, please click here [PDF ]
This is the last paragraph from the pdf
Manufacturers’ warranties may not apply in all cases, depending on
factors such as use of the
product, where the product was purchased, or who you purchased the product from. Please
review the warranty carefully, and contact the manufacturer if you have any questions.
Seems to be a bit of a run around.

I have a Lithium battery in my old Glide, but the only reason is that I have moved it under the seat which is a confined space. I wanted a fairly small battery able to turn over a 107" engine and the Li type gives me a serious output in CCA terms. I don't use Li on any other vehicle and don't plan to.

Can a AGM battery be charged/maintained using a BatteryTender or Battery Minder charger/maintainer? I still have the HD stock battery in my Ultra Limited and use those charger/maintainers now.......will they also work on a AGM style battery?

Yes - well all mine do!
118 reviews and all but 4 are 5 star. The rest are 4 star. 600 CCA. $30 more that the big crank but less than the Yuasa,
