A company named odyssey makes a badass dry cell battery that has the most cranking amps I've ever seen.

Default Odyssey

I'd like to hear from those using Odyssey AGM batteries too. This is the battery I want - if I can find a reasonable price - when I need a replacement.

And no battery performs better (to include cold cranking amps, reserve power, and storage life) than what's known as an electrolyte starved cell battery. These batteries are used in the hawker missile system, and I'm also told (don't know 1st hand) for starting fighter jets. It has a 10 year (NOT pro-rated) warranty. They list a battery on the web site for Harley as well. If you buy from the web site you'll deal with a guy named Yawan. Tell him chief Glass sent ya.

I looked at their site but did not see pricing information. I checked the part number for my bike, PC 925LMJ on ebay and found one selling at $154.50 + $32.00 shipping. Did I miss something at the Kodiak site and is this a fair price on ebay? My only reservation is the seller has 383 sales with 97.5% Positive feedback. I usually stay from sellers with less than a 99% feedback.

Walmart's Everstart aka Neverstart batteries are made by Delphi Battery Company.

First,I haven't looked at the Kodiak site at p/n's yet.The p/n you gave is the same as a Odessey Battery I was looking at.

You are correct but that is the battery on their web site that fits my 01 FLHR. While I want a good price I am too poor to buy cheap stuff and you USUALLY get what you pay for.

Sound advice-Buy quality first or you just end up paying more in the end if you go cheap.
