Default Best Battery

I am replacing the battery before the cold weather hits.

-What is the best battery out there?
-Where do I buy it?
-How much should it cost?

Thank you in advance for your replies!

I researched this last year and spent some time at it...cannot recall all the particular technicals, but mostly looked at CCA and concluded that the Yuasa was a the best bang for the buck...put it in my Big Dog (117 S&S). Bought it online and trickle charged for 24 hrs at 2 amps. Still cranks like hell....

I have always had good results with deka. Napa power sports legend batteries are also made by deka and about twenty bucks cheaper with all the same specs. As of recently I have been looking at higher cca batteries (above 350) and found yuasa and also the Shorai. The yuasa looks to be about 359 and the Shorai is about 410. Sounds good but are they worth the extra money (Shorai $259) (yuasa $190)?

Last one I bought was an Odyssey. No problems with it.

Lucky I havent had to buy one, but how long does a battery usually last for you guys in these bikes?

I know my old '08 shadow that my dad has still has the original batter from '08 in it, and its just now showing signs of weakness.
