Just go buy a battery, this is not rocket science until Rounders comes to your aid. They last 5 years, good luck

I understand that but I would assume some are better than others, and some may even be junk.
I didn’t find out I bought something that was common knowledge was junk so I figured I would post before I buy.

I bought another for my 01 Road King again this year from batterymart.com. Easy peasy.

The batteries from your local O'Reilly's are as good as any.

+1 on Battery Mart

You cannot go wrong with a USA-Made Big Crank™ ETX30L /

Another vote for batterymart.com ...great price...fast shipping and the batteries are very good quality. I'm going on my 5th year with mine.

Just a note, Big Crank batteries (USA Made) are made at the same place OEM HD batteries are made.

I just ordered a battery that has a four year warranty. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t buying junk. It seems they are mostly the same. The big differences I seen was warranties.
