Default Inexpensive NOT Cheap battery
Friend of mine fired his bike up yesterday to take it out for a spin in this nice weather we are having and he noticed his battery is crappin out on him. He called the Stealer up and they wanted 179.00 for a new stock battery.

Kinda shocked by the price he asked if I knew of a good but inexpensive alternative to the stock HD battery. Told him I would ask on line.

Any suggestions?

Agree on the Big Crank. Been using them for years and they have lasted me well.

Default Lowes can order the Deka batteries.
Look at the Lowes web site. Wait for one of their 11% rebates. I bought my battery for $95 plus tax.
