Default Battery recommendations
My battery crapped out. Any recommendations on something stronger than stock?
I got a 1.8kW starter and about 10.7:1. Thanks in advance.

Just yesterday I installed a new battery in my Ultra. It's a "Big Crank" from Battery Mart. Fired the bike up right out of the shipping box. 400 cca, $99.95 with free shipping.

yeah the $100 big crank...I bought mine through amazon for points.

it is made by Deka/ East Penn and is an AGM type battery.

charge overnight before use for longest service life

and check your cables and connections, both ends
