new battery on it's way!
Ok, so after 7 years, the original battery in my Electra Glide finally died. Just ordered a new one from a place called Batterymart.com. It's called a "Big Crank ETX30L" and claims to be oem equivalent. 400 cca, made in the US and AGM technology. Hopefully this thing will give me decent service for a few years. I'm not expecting it to hold up for 7 years like the original, but it sure would be nice! Cost was $98 with free shipping (ground). Cost is/was a big factor for me, otherwise I would have just stuck with the dealer batt. But I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Just installed the same one my self, Troll from the the same outfit plus a new battery tender which is already hooked up on the new battery.
Perfect fit.
No issues.. I was gonna charge it up, and hooked it up to the charger but it was already charged so thought it a waste of time.
A little less than $90 bucks..w/their first time sign up of 10 % off.
HD one which is the same one was about a buck eighty I think.
Oh and I been up in your neck o' the woods too Troll, as in Pittsfield.
It snows and rains there too much for me..
