I agree and that is why if push comes to shove I will pay the 170.00. I was just trying to get in front of it a bit if I could. I honestly thought with the cranking amps being under 10 that it would qualify as bad - but assumptions, you know what they say.

Some good info on AGM batteries. I keep a copy with my battery testing cht.
You keep saying $170.00. Be sure to look at the other posts here on the ETX30L. It is the same battery made by the same company as the HD battery for less than $100.00 shipped. 3 bolts and it is in. This makes it real easy to get out and in for < $6.00. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...mString=search

All 12 volt batteries should read 12.9 volts fully charged at rest. A reading of 12.7 volts is a 75% charged battery.
Under a load (such as starting) the volts will fall off. Anything lower than 12.2 to12.3 volts, during the crank, indicates a week battery.
Once running the volts should measure about 14.2 volts. This would be an acceptable charging rate.

I just received my Big Crank battery mentioned earlier. My stock battery was getting weak and wouldn't hold a charge for very long. The Big Crank battery is the same as the stocker. I paid $92 shipped.

The ETX30L battery is the same one/same dimensions that is what the HD stocker is.
It is made by the same company in PA, just w/different labels for who-ever wants it, Deka, HD, Big Crank, whoever.
I thnk that if you would have to shim it up, you'd be referring to an 07 perhaps?
