do you know the brand or have a link? searched their site but could not figure out which one...i rather buy it there instead the dealer...
i think agm is absorbent glass mat? so not lead-acid or gel

 

Goggle "walmart battery finder".

I'm not sure who makes the Everstart batteries.
I found one reference to "Johnson Controls" who's a distributer for Interstate Battery.

The premium one for a Heritage is ESTX20L $95 and only has a 3 month warranty.
The "Big Crank" at Battery Mart is about the same price (cheaper with no tax) and it has a 1 year warranty. (not sure if that's prorated or not).

My local Batteries + has a 2 year free replacement battery for $112.00
That's sounds not too bad.

I've read a lot of good things about the "Big Crank" so I'm going to likely order one this winter.

 

I checked at my local MoCo dealer for a battery. I think it was over $140 plus tax. I went on around the corner and bought this one http://www.autozone.com/miscellaneou...ry/178908_0_0/ which was the same cold cranking amps as the HD cell.

I'm sure there are better batteries out there, some with a hefty price tag as well. I think these are made by Johnson Controls. They only have a 90 day warranty, which some are probably 1 year. These are readily available at a store near you, right when you want it. Considered a Wally world battery but there better agm batteries weren't in stock. From what I've read, most batteries are made either by Exide, Delphi, or Johnson Controls.

I bought the battery in July when I installed a new high torque starter and Sumax cables. It's been doing really well ever since. Got it hooked up to a new Battery Tender Junior. I guess time well tell the tale.

 

There's a lot to say for a local purchase.
For me I try to purchase locally as much as possible.

 

I agree with that. I do some online shopping but try to buy local too. I live in a tourist town and I know we couldn't stay on the map without local trade.

 

Battery + is where I got mine 3 yrs ago.. give them a look-see..

 

SpicOfTheDevil: The AGM's are "Everstart". The batteries are dry. The acid comes in a 6 cell plastic container. Pull the seal off the battery and insert the container. When drained in replace the seal. Instructions say wait an hour for the acid to be absorbed before charging the battery. I wait one day and then place it on a 1.5 amp tender for a day.

I keep one on stock and at the point that I am going to change the battery out I get one ready.

 

I bought the big crank from batterymart.com and just received it actually about an hour ago. I installed it and put it on the battery tender. Hopefully, I'll ride this weekend.

 

Good stuff fellas...
