Replace battery now, for a few $, I'd get the H-D replacement. You can get replacement battery's to suit Softails at Wally World, but I wouldn't.

I don't understand why a guy who gets six years out of his OEM battery would be looking at a different battery. My bikes and even my girlfriends bike get 6 to seven years on the OEM. I replaced both originals last year in my '02 Fat Boy and her '03 Deuce. It's a no brainer to me.

I just paid $115 for a Harley battery at the dealer. A lot of money but the last one was the original in the bike. No complaints here.
