Battery
Still have the original battery in my 2000 Ultra (love that Battery Minder with the desulfation pulse), but planning on getting a replacement before my ride to Myrtle Beach. Did the requisite search and only found some threads on Wal Mart and Odyssey batteries. What's a good replacement? Die Hard, Odyssey?? who makes the Harley Battery? Anyone know?

RE: Battery
The OEM Harley battery is pretty good and lasts. About seven years ago, I was on the road and my battery crapped out. Autozone had one named MagnaPower...it was only $69 with a three year warranty. It lasted five years and I was satisfied.
I liked their warranty and Autozones are usually plentiful along the highway. If it is under warranty still.....Any Autozone will accept the warranty. HD dealers are not that plentiful and are not open seven days a week. My nearest HD dealership is over an hour away...Autozone is five minutes away and damn near everywhere anymore.

RE: Battery
A bud asked me recently if his 03 eg needs a new bat. I said soon but I would wait for the sighns like lights gettin dim right before you start bike. Not to side track the subject but was that good advice?

RE: Battery
The original battery in my 95 Ultra lasted 10 yrs with it being on a Battery tender. $s per year works out really great. Don't know who makes the HD, but i bought another HD. I won't complain about that!!

When this battery goes out on me, you can bet I'll buy another HD battery as well as this one has treated me.
