Yeah, for that price I'm gonna run out and buy two! And you get a whole 2 years on the warranty!

Batteries will get sulfate on the plates if they are not kept charged this will reduce the life. My batteries are always on tenders if the bike is not driven for a day. The batteries today are AGM (absorbed glass mat). The acid is saturated between the plates in a glass mat not sloshing around like the old days.

Advanced Auto is the best place to buy a replacement battery. They are East Penn batteries own by Deka who make them for HD at 30-40% off the HD price.
