I am thinking about getting a new battery for my 04 LR, since it still has the original battery in it. Any advice on which one to get, or not to get???

odyssey batteries... the only choice

 

it is an 04 and it still has the original battery!
I would replace it with the same one

 

I've been through a lot of batteries and nothing I've found beats a genuine Harley battery combined with diligent use of a Battery Tender. My last one has been going strong for more than 4 years, and before that I went through 3 batteries in less than 2 years.

It was actually the guys at Battery Tender that set me straight on this and they were 100% correct from my viewpoint. They're great guys with customer service by the way.

 

on the battery tender..
Have an '06, that has spend every night on a Battery Tender since new..
Still cranks strong, 5 years this month.
Been thinkin 'bout change anyway.
Feel like I'm pressing my luck.

 

++ On the Battery Tender, even if you can only put it on some of the time. I am stuck on the glass mat batteries they hold a charge longer.

 

HD batteries are actually pretty decent & who doesn't want to make a trip to dealership for some browsing...

 

Well guys thanks for the replies, I feel that I may be pushing my luck as well. That's why the thread, the battery in my truck and my wife's both died within a months time, and the bikes older. I do use a tender and it cranks pretty strong but, you never know!!!

They make all of the HD stock batteries. Find their local distributor by calling them and you will save $30-40.00 over dealer. Their distributor here is 4 miles form my house. The exact replacement was $79 versus $110 at the dealer. Then go on Amazon and get a Deltran battery tender jr for $28 which is the same as the HD $50 one.

 

Batteries are very unpredicatable, but my 03 Dyna is on its original and still going strong. Someone mentioned Odyssey, but the one I bought only just got out of its two year warranty, so I won't be buying another! I wouldn't replace yours just yet.
