I have a 2007 CVO Ultra and so far the battery has not shown any signs of weakening. I always keep a Battery Tender connected while its parked in the garage. I'm curious as to what your experience has been on stock battery life.

 

My old bike was 9 years old and still had the original battery, when I traded it in. I always put a tender (Optimate) on it in the winter.

 

Got the original in my 04 but always keep it tendered!!! I also keep a set of small jumper cables just in case but i know since i carry them i will never need them.... LOL....

 

Mine's a little over 3 yrs old and is still ok.

 

With the Battery Tender, I've known friends that have the same battery for 9 and 10 years. I hope to have the same experience since purchasing one.

 

I've had mine 4yrs in June and it just took a dump. I've used tenders but I suppose it was one of those things. With this economy I can't afford to pay top dealer price for a new battery. Any suggestions ?

 

I just replaced batter on 2005. I used Battery Tender last winter - not sure if previous owner used one. Battery gave out with no warning whatsoever.

 

My '02 has the original battery on it. It's never been on a tender or charger of any kind.

 

I had the stock battery in since I bought the bike in 06. Started taking longer to complete a charge. Just replaced it with one from Fleet Farm for $99.95. Alot of my friends use this battery with no complaints.

 

04' still runnin strong. Kept in a heated garage and tendered during the winter.
