I still have the factory HD battery with an install date of 5-18-18. I load tested it with a 80% Good reading. I am going to change it before 4,000 mile trip in July with a HD battery from the dealer. I always run a battery tender when it is park in the shop. I live in Michigan so it goes months at a time pluged in. Maybe that is the reason for such a long life.

I use to do that, rotate the tender, but the winter of 2025 i purchased some new NOCO's for the fleet and left them on all winter. 3 motorcycles, 1 zero turn, 1 Duramax with dual batteries and my daughters stored Honda Civic.

So I thought I would just post a quick thought on my recent experience with a Battery Brand. My 2005 RK Battery just finally got weak enough it wouldn't start the bike, it would crank it, a little slow but no fire. Anyways this is a good review for ThrottleX's X-rated battery, it was near 10 years old, installed in September 2016. I woulld say don't be afaid of this battery brand as it served me well. replaced it in a hurry about a week ago with an Orielly Super Start as I was taken by surprise when it finally died and was preparing for a couple hundred mile trip. Anyways good job ThrottleX !!!
