I just bought a battery from these guys. I bought the Deka ETX30L which as many on this forum have said is the same as the HD 66010-97C, just cheaper. Couldn't be happier. Quick shipping and a great price.

yes...keep that baby charged and you will be good to go. A smart trickle charger during months of non use will help prevent sulfate deposits. A smart trickle charger has different states of charge and cuts off and on automatically.

Great service from this guy. And being that he sells Deka, you won't be using him too often. Good luck!

I stick with the hd batteries just because they are made so thick cased I don't have to worry about it cracking and leaking. I also plug in after every ride and all winter long as well. Works for me.
