I use Yuasa GYZ batteries. I only had 1 that flaked out, and Sumax took care of it right away.

 

I've seen those reviewed and most people have said good thing about them, thank you

 

Odyssey AGM

Mine last no fewer than 8 years......have gotten 12...not inexpensive.....solid brass terminals///no off gassing.....deep cycle/start combo....insane 5 second amp output...high amp charging does no hurt them.....

 

awesome info bud, thank you

 

deka AGM Battery Oreilly's sell them or from Battery Mart

 

good info bud

 

Spend the money for a lithium battery 650 cca they last 10-15 years they do the job great.

 

Interesting, never thought about it. I guess they make these for Harleys?

 

Excellent question.

 

The reviews on the Harley-Davidson lithium batteries are horrible . . .

Too big of a gamble for $300.

 

I didnt buy harley I got chinese brand weights about 8oz and cranks the built 110 over like a jet engine, its been 6 years now and if it went bad I would buy another. I do use a tender when not riding daily.. Looks like prices are coming down on these. 12V 20Ah 650CCA Motorcycle Lithium Iron Pack Battery LiFePO4 Replace YTX20L-BS

 

One that makes the engine start when you push the go go button!

 

Renegade battery.com
500-600 CCA Cheaper than a Harley Battery.

 

Guys, a lot of good suggestions here about brands of batteries but, how many of these batteries are rated higher in output than my current battery rated at:
18ah / 310 CCA.

 

Yuasa GYZ rated @ 320 CCW. Three years old now, holding excellent charge even after setting 3 weeks w no tender

 

I tried one of the Harley lithium batteries. I did not like it at all and returned it. It ran hot. I mean so hot I could feel it coming through the seat of my Fat Bob. It certainly was not worth the money nor the special charger.

 

Got 2 years out of mine and that was keeping it on hd tender. Won't buy another hd battery.

 

The DieHard Batterys just came back on the Market.

I bought one and a few weeks later my Fatboy's S&S Cycle Single Fire Coil purchased last June went bad !

So I had starting issues but the Diehard just kept turning the Engine over and over never losing power till it started. Any other battery would have lost power and failed after all the attempts. When it started running on 1 Cylinder I pulled the rear cylinders Sparkplug wire out of the Coil with no effect, I realized it's not the Sparkplug Wire. How smart is that...Duhhhh !!

I don't know how long it will last but I have to hand it to the Battery, it performed !!

 

Odyssey battery best battery Ive ever owned and I have had many over the years.. Amazon.. If you want a harley battery Go to eastman penn they make the harley batt

 

Guys I just ordered a 120.00 dollar battery from THROTTLEX BATTERIES .
This thing has a 400 CCA. I'll let you know if it works and how it looks when I get it, fast delivery also 2 days out of Chicago

 

Any that doesn’t leave you on the side of the road, basically the cheapest one I can find at replacement time and I generally get 4-5 years life out of them. Brand doesn’t matter to me, with that lifespan I can live with it.

 

For me it's got to be an Interstate battery. I was admiring your bike love all the chrome on rear èspecially the swingarm. What kind of shocks are those

 

Thanks for the nice words. I won many shows with that bike. Those shocks are new inexpensive Progressive 412's.
I had a previous pair of 412's on it that were 12 years old and finally developed a tiny leak so I just replaced them.
I noticed with the new shocks, the actual shock itself inside the Coiled spring is now also chromed whereas the earlier model was black. A nice touch.

 

I always replace my 2012 ElectraGlide battery with OEM battery at the Harley dealer. I do it every 4 yrs. so i don't get stranded somewhere. Lookin at $175 but it's got the original good quality hardware hookups and all that. Could have saved about $40 by going away from OEM but I hate the hardware hookups on a lot of offbrand batteries.

 

Yuasa GYZ series have the HD terminals

 

good thoughts and comments guys,

 

Go onto the eBay and find the highest a cc style batteries that’s what I bought and have it mailed to you.

 

Was reading the comments about the best battery to use..i have pretty much the same question in trying to find one with 600+ cca. Found a few online that sound as if they would work on Amazon. Problem I have is don't have the measurements of the one currently in my side hoe under lock and key.she is a 2010 FXDF Fat Bob..and the betterhalf won't touch the bike to get the mesurements

 

Pretty sure that is a size "20" battery.

 

My Sporty's battery lasted 12 years, then I put a Scorpion AGM in it. That was 5 years ago, and its still in there. Also use a tender everyday.

 

I have no means of using a battery tender as I store my 20913 Fat Bob in a trailer that's about 500 feet from any electrical outlet. My HOA (They all suck) won;'t of course let me string an extension cord. My on ly option that I know of is to pull out b battery, bring inside and use tender in my house. ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS, please??

 

Home depot rents trenchers (ditch diggers), run a cord 3' under the ground (inside conduit) to the trailer, put a weather proof plug box under the trailer, drill a hole in the floor for the cord and call it done. It should take less than 8 hours to do. Place sod over the ditch you backfilled and tamped the dirt on so there is no obvious signs of what you did.
That is the cheap way.

The other option is a solar setup in the roof of the trailer.

 

Maybe a deep cycle Marine battery, or 12v car battery w/ converter to 120v & plug the trickle charger into that in the trailer
Should not take much juice, bring big battery in to charge it back up, then put it back in the trailer
In the Winter on my old bikes I used to take the seat off & battery out & keep them in the house until Spring
