Well I can"t speak for the Duracell but I use the "Big Crank" from Battery Mart and you"ll find it has a lot of support here on the forums.

Welcome to the forums from Ohio!

 

 

Battery Mart Big Krank

 

I have that Duracell, bought it for the 2 year warranty AND local walk in replacement or at other Batteries Plus stores across the USA.
I am still running it FIVE YEARS LATER.
They told me it was made by East Penn, same as the HD batteries.
And, welcome from Alabama!

 

 

I replaced this last one with a Wonch otherwise known locally as a Deka dealer. I got a "returned" new battery for $40. There should not be any issues with a non-Harley battery. You will find that many of us use batteries (and many other things) that are not Harley.

 

That's what I use. Just bought a new one for my small bike yesterday. The one before that was also from batteries plus and lasted 6 years. Has a full 2 year replacement warranty that can't be beat.

 

There are only a couple of battery manufacturers in the US. Each is responsible for a huge number of brand names.
As long as it fits and the specs match you will be fine with whatever you choose.

 

Batteries have been pretty well "beaten to death" over time. Doing a search will likely reveal many opinions, and dealers' web addresses. A Google search for Motorcycle Batteries will also show many internet dealers. Deka makes the Harley branded battery and the same battery with many other brand labels. BatteriesPlus sells the same battery with either the Duracell or its house label. Most outlets sell that battery for less with a one year warranty, with BatteriesPlus you pay more for "insurance" on the same battery. My concern has always been, in who's opinion is the battery no longer serviceable? If you start getting slow or hesitant cranking but the battery still meets the CCA rating, you may still want a new battery but they won't exchange a battery that they believe is still serviceable. If your bike has always started easily, you should not have a problem either way. Mine has always been hard on batteries. No matter whose battery I try, after about 18 months I start getting slow cranking when hot. In part, as an experiment, I just rebuilt the starter solenoid last fall and we will see if that makes a difference as this battery goes into its second year. The trustworthy replacements go for about $99 to about $110, depending source and those are the various branded Deka batteries. Yuasa makes one that claims 500 CCA (which I am using now) but for a higher price, around $135 to $145. Some are loyal to Interstate, but they are more than the Deka batteries and Interstate dealers are getting hard to find. A search should give you many options.

 

Same here, have had good luck
