Battery replacement?

I would go with an Interstate F-A-G-YZ32HL, it has 500cca and fits touring models.

Go to Advance Auto and get their "branded" batteries...same as Deka, but cheaper.

We've had 4 of these in our Road Kings over the past several years and they've been perfect.

I've used all three... I vote Yuasa...

My opinion, the HD batteries have gone down-hill in quality lately. They are made by East Penn, same as Deka/Big Crank/ and others... I suspect HD has lowered their battery specs to East Penn, to save money. My 2003 OEM HD battery got 7 years... it was still strong, but I was leaving on a long, multi-day trip and didn't want to be stranded with a 7 yr old battery. I haven't gotten more than 3 yrs, and two HD batteries only lasted two years, on any HD battery since...

The Deka batteries (made by East Penn) are a good value, they have 400CCA. I got 3 to 4 years on one of them... not bad.

I now have a Yuasa (GYZ32HL) in my 103" Stage I bagger, only 2 years old, but it spins the engine like a top (500CCA). I'll be putting a 124" engine in it next month... I'll see how it handles the bigger size and higher compression of that engine.....
