Is there a battery available for the Sporty...

That Drag specialties battery will start that bike no matter how cold it is. I sold batteries for years and the CCA280 means it is capable of cranking 280 CI for 1 minute.
If you where using a Battery Tender your 4 year old battery wouldn't be dead. I got 7 years out of my first Sportser battery and my wifes bike is 5 years old and hers still works perfect.
One of the secrets of using a Battery Tender is it will keep the battery charged to capacity and also keeps it warm and a warm battery will have a lot more cranking power that a cold battery. I had times that a car wouldn't start and all I did was take the battery in the house let it get warmed up and it would start the car, the same trick works on bikes.

CCA (cold cranking amps) is a measurement of the starting power of a battery at 0°F under a load (ampere draw) for 30 seconds with the end voltage maintained at 1.20 volts per cell. Several variations of CCA ratings may be applied to a battery including; MCA (marine cranking amps) or CA (Cranking amps), which are generally 20% higher than CCA (cold cranking amps) and reflect higher temperature testing.
