Is just what I paid for a battery for my 04 ultra. The other one was bought a year and a half ago and went bad. HD only warranties it for 6 months/100% and the prorates it for another 6 months. It was a 100 bucks then. Is there another source for batteries that will fit and hold up as good as the HD for a good bit less $$$? My '03 Wideglide still has the original battery in it, but I expect it to go soon. Both bikes have had battery tenders on them since new.
Thanks

Not really, HD uses AGM mat, which is nice. You say you use a battery tender. When everytime the bike is not being used for more than a day. I put on a tender on overnight. On my old scoot I had the same battery for 6years. No problem on the new scoot 1.5 years. Just a thought. If you do have a tender on that often, then you might have a draw somewhere that is draining the bike's battery. Maybe voltage reg?

 

go to debrix.com...they have the same battery that Harley sells and it is only 99 unless they are on sale. I have been buying mine from them for some time. There AGM battery is the same one that harley sells it is just not stamped HD.

 

I am on my 6th year with the battery on my FB. It stays on a batter tender when not being ridden. I figure it will go out now that I have talked about it!

 

Seems the glass mat battery is about the same cost, at $148.99, unless there is one there someplace I can't see (which is entirely possible !)

Other maintainance free batteries on that site are $99 or less.

By golly, this appears to be the same battery, at a lot less !

That is the same battery that Harley sells just not branded, same manufacture etc.

 

I have the orignal battery in my 1999 FLHR. I only put the tender on in the winter.Now that i talked about it lets see what happens this spring.

 

I got a battery tender with the bike new on 06. I've used it once. Never use it and the bike has sat for 2 months before. Whenever I start the bike, it runs for at least an hour or more before I shut it off, Maybe that helps. I look at the battery on the bike like a battery in a car. It's either good or bad or there is an electrical problem. My street rods don't have battery tenders on them, but I drive them too.
