The stock battery on my 2010 Ultra gave out a few months ago. After they priced a replacement and I said no thanks they offered me an Interstate at a more reasonable price. Can't remember what I paid but I did buy one and this time I am using a battery tender whenever I park the bike. On my stock battery I never used a battery tender.

 

2 year old interstate in my ultra. works fine. batterymart 2 weeks ago in the fatboy. batterymart was a better price, and way better construction on the posts. batterymart is my first choice now....steve

 

Looks like batterymart will be the place to purchase. Free shipping too.

 

Thanks guys! I used a tender all winter, I would plug it in for 24hrs once a month. Funny thing is when I plug it in it shows the red light for 5 min then the flashing green for a few min then solid green so that led me to believe the batt was good?

It just sounds week now that I have rolled it to the front of the garage and am riding

 

Does anyone have the model number for the batterymart battery, there looks to be a bunch of different ones on their site. It would be going into a 2010 Road King.

 

There must be only one battery manufacturer because what ever brand you name, someone, somewhere, will tell you that it is made by the same manufacturer as the HD battery and is identical.

 

The biggest complaint I have with the interstate battery is the terminals.

The OEM battery you screw into a terminal and basically call it day.

On the interstate there is a brass nut that you have to balance and then screw into that. Granted it is basically one and done but a pain none the less. I have had it in now for a year and still works.

 

I don't use Interstate batteries...I never leave New York.

Not how you use a tender.
