Need new battery
I am in need of a new battery. Sucks too because it's the holiday weekend. I could go down to get one immediately but want to make a good purchase. I have been considering Lithium battery for quite sometime but there is a lot of skepticism on how well they work in baggers despite the fact that Harley makes one for touring models. I am wondering real world experiences. Do you have or have you had one? How long did it last? Do you keep it on a trickle every night? Lead batteries are 30ah lithium is like 8ah. Does that matter even though I have zero accessories or a radio? The battery I have now is a Wicked Start 600cca and 30ah lead battery. The battery I am looking at is a Noco 700cca and 8ah. the difference is only 30 bucks between the two so if a lithium battery is thought or proved to be better I will go with it.

Battery Plus
I’m going on the third season with their product, I think it was a Duracell if memory serves me right. Best price, they are everywhere across the country for warranty and usually open 7 days a week. I will be a return customer.

I have been using Big Crank Battries in my various Harley Models for 15 years or so and not had any problems or issues, the batteries perform well.
Quick free delivery also if they have the one you want in stock.

You intrigued me with that wicked start 600cca battery. I wouldn't get the lithium but I'm in the cold and hear it don't do well then . I did just get a lithium jump box, fits in the side pocket of the truck back seat.

I am not sure i can honestly recommend it. It lasted barely two years and for $180 bucks not sure that is really worth it. The battery I had on my RK lasted me 5 and was still good when I sold it. I cant remember for the life of me what kind it was though.
