Default Help changing battery 2005 electraglide classic


Just purchased a 2005 Electraglide classic yesterday, I was playing the cd player while waxing it and Ive run the battery down. I dont have an owners manual so Im not sure how you get to the battery posts to charge it or change it, I may just go ahead and change it since its a few years old. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You just have to take the seat off.

How do you remove the seat? I had a 2005 dyna superglide and you had to remove the screw on the back fender and loosen the strap that went across the back seat to remove the seat, how do you remove it on this one? Thanks

Remove the screw at the back of the seat, lift the back of the seat up to slide the front tab out and remove the seat. Battery is right there. 10mm wrench to remove the cables.

Probably due for a new battery also, as my 05' is to. Replace it with another Harley battery.
