If you need a batery try this site. Best price I could find on the Odyssey battery.

You can't go wrong w/HD batteries...for the money - they're the best bang. You can search for cheaper, but get what you pay for. IMO - go w/HD...

Deka makes the HD OEM batteries and it was a exact match. HD Was 139.00 @ the dealer plus tax.
Bohannon battery was 99.00 delivered to my door.
I know you can buy cheaper ones at Wal-mart but those haven't lasted for me.

that happened to mine too and the tender did not have enough juice to bring it back ....I used a trickle charger 2 amps and brought it back to where the tender was able to take over....chargers can over charge and tenders cannot...be aware if you leave it hooked up to the bike...battery is still good 2 years later

Maybe your battery was old already but draining the battery once will not cause permanent damage because it takes time for the lead plates to get eaten away. I've done similar things to batteries in the past and had no trouble with them once they were recharged.
The key to recovery is to slow charge it for as long as it takes. Once it's charged up, then test it.
And I have used a battery tender. Took a few days on a car battery but it worked.
