Default Battery

did a search on here and found some info, shopping batteries for spring to replace my weak RG battery. found few options, which of these would be best bang for the buck?

Big Crank ETX30L Battery - 400 CCA $100

ThrottleX Batteries - HDX30L 400 CCA $ 109

Yuasa (YUAM723HL) GYZ32HL Factory Activated Battery 500 CCA $153

from what i can see these are compatible with my application. if somebody has better option please share.

i have friends that have went those routes and they just dont seem to last more than a yr or 2, just wondering if there is a better longer term option. or are all the batteries usually start to go after a yr or 2?

edited to include the big crank, i messed up the copy and paste in the OP lol

Big Crank form Batteries Plus is what I use. Just got one $99 to my door. I'll bet it lasts longer than the stock one too.

I put a Throttle X in. It's made by East Penn Manufacturing. Same as Harley OEM Deka etc. DO NOT buy batteries at Wally World. If you have a warranty issue and no receipt you're SOL. (don't get me started on that). I bought mine through Amazon. Had it in a day or two.

My OEM battery only lasted 35 months. I went for the Mega Crank $81.95 to my door with Internet coupon.

I got the Deka from NAPA for $106. That thing cranks the bike without the compression releases. The HD battery wouldn't when it was new. (I still use the CR though) = )
