What are the pros and cons of the lithium battery?
Is the lithium battery compatible with the HD battery tender?
Does the dealer sell the lithium battery and recommend it?

Smart Shoppers be American, and buy American - except when it comes batteries. Then they lower their trousers down around their ankles, bend over their seat, and buy a Mega Crank made in China! And save $90 in the process. Minus the cost of the vasoline.

Batteries are a crap-shoot at best, especially cheaper aftermarket batteries. Some are decent, others are crap. Some have been sitting on the shelf too long and others fall apart inside. There are many choices, some good, most marginal, but for sure MoCo batteries are engineered, designed, and built for your Harley and will work the best. I installed an aftermarket battery one time...it lasted less than a year. I only use HD branded now.

Or you can buy American and get the Big Crank- and save $90 over the what the Harley battery costs. The Mega crank, had I gone that route would have been another $10 or $20 cheaper.

Another one for batterymart.com

https://www.batterymart.com/p-mtx-30...l-battery.html

And free shipping. Just as good as the OEM.

Lithium is the way o go. If it is HD approved, you know that lithium has been out for awhile and HD is now ready to push their product.

The only charger you need is a regular dumb charger like the battery tender. If you do enough research, battery chargers that are not smart are the ones to avoid.
