My 14 SGS is still hanging in there. At home it's always been on a tender. Security will suck the life out of a battery sitting over time. Considering a swap out just to be safe. Roadside assistance sucks!

 

Thanks for all your advice. Decided to replaced it. Sounds like the best bet is a Deka battery has anyone used this brand ? and if so what model number is the one for a 14 FLHTK Limited.
Thanks again Jonnierock

 

Deka makes the OEM battery for Harley, they are made in Pennsylvania. I bought a Deka for my '06 but only kept the bike for another year before getting the '14 but I have used Deka car batteries for years and never had a problem with them. When the time comes a Deka will go into my '14...

 

Just replaced the battery in my 2014 RoadKing with a Deka, ordered mine thru Battery Mart, $109.95 delivered to my door. Battery at dealership was $181.00.

 

Taggs - I too have a 2014 - purchased in Sept 2013 - so, I am going on 3 1/2 years . Battery is still strong.

I go carry a jump kit -cost me around $60 for me or anyone else that may need a jump.

Also, my 2004 battery lasted until I traded it Sept 2010- so, that was 7 years. My 2011 was there when I traded it on my 2014.

 

I just carry an Antigravity booster / jumpstart battery in one of the bags and have no worries

 

^^^ That's awesome! I may try to squeeze more time out of this battery, not sure yet.

I bought mine new in may 14. Traded a 07 softail with the original battery in it still cranking strong. Kind of a downer to think of changing out already on this one.

 

I also have a 2012 sportster with the original battery, so i guess you never know.

 

Sporster's along with any of Harley's bikes without a sound system/GPS have very little drain on the battery. So the battery will normally last a long time. But the 14-present FL's with Boombox have quite a draw from the battery.

 

2014 Road King just under 29,000 mi (no security or sound system) on tender most of the time. Have read about a few guys having trouble with this years batteries.
