Default which battery and how long has life been

Tell me what battery you went with and how long has the life been? Sounds like the big crank from batterymart is somewhat popular. Anyone else using another?

Default Big Crank

I had the Big Crank on my last bike and it was great. It is actually a Deka (spelling?) that is rebranded for battery-mart.com. It's an excellent AGM battery at a good price. It was still cranking strong and holding a charge after three years when I traded the bike.

Default New battery

I recently replaced my battery also. I searched the internet high and low and the best deal I could find on a Deka battery was here: http://www.techbatterysolutions.com
Shipping was UPS quick !

Deka makes the H-D and Big Crank batteries. Just keep it on a Battery Tender and you should get 5+ years easy.

Everything I've read about the Big Crank is it is the exact same thing as the factory battery. I won't be able to say it might be for several more years. Just changed the factory to it last year about this time. I know it is sure heavy enough to be the same.

Just replaced mine after 3 years and 37,000+ miles. Like most, I went with the Big Crank ETX30L for just under $100.
