battery has died in me 07 wide glide, just want to no if there is a better aftermarket battery or stick with the h d one, any feedback appreciated  cheers  BRUSH

I bought a Redline from Ebay. I was told (not sure if true) the HD batteries have around 290 - 310 cold cranking amps (CCA) while the one I bought (Redline) has 450 CCA...and was much cheaper. I couldn't find them on Ebay (Aus) when I searched for Redline, but I found them when I searched for the particular model I was after - so if you search for HVT-1 (the model I bought) it'll bring up the redlines and you search his other batteries if that one doesn't fit.

that's what I found out about hd batterys too when I was searching for bigger/better batterys bonkerz how is the redline battery ,what do you think so far ? glad you found them

PerthHog, my Redline is doing well - cheers for the initial recomendation.

And KiwiDave, my original Deka/HD battery never seemed to work that well. On startup I always felt as if the bike wasn't going to start (or at least it was struggling to turn over properly, but it started...until, of course, the day it didn't. That's why I wanted more CCA, and now the bike sounds like it's turning over well, rather than a slow wind.

As always, everyone has different experiences. If I was going for HD/DeKA I'd want more oomph myself.

had my bike for 12 years have put 3 batteries in the last is 2 months off 4yrs old after 95,hi comp,pistons ,heads so personaly would go genuine none of my batteries stuck me up 

Deka, Battery World stocks them. Yes they are the same thing as stated just not all black and without the HD on it. I was wanting a Ballistic or Oddssey but cost and time to get one here settled for the Deka.

Hey Bonkers, are you still running that redline battery?

SSB Batteries on eBay the best..

I have a 2004 Nightrain, on my second HD battery

I recently bought an SSB lithium battery through batteries direct (http://www.batteriesdirect.com.au). Ordered on Monday online and it arrived Tuesday afternoon. Melbourne to country SA in under 24 hours.

Only had the battery for about a week before going back to work so I can't comment to much on the longevity

My stock has been playing up recently so going to install an Antigravity in my Sporty soon. Has anyone had experience with these?

I'm leaving that one alone....................

all good bud

almost 10 from a stock battery why change to another brand ?, I got 10 years out of my HD version

I got 7 years out of a stock battery in my sporty.
Original ones ( and most bike batteries are the same) are calcium.
I replaced it with a non genuine calcium with more CCA that cost less.

Time will tell I suppose. .....shame I sold her.

Got 9 years out of my stock battery and it never failed, just changed out as a precaution.

Fitted a Deka PowerSports ETX20L 310 CCA and boy she fires up better than ever

Walka, do you always have your battery charger connected ?

not realy If it's flat I just top it up with a 1 hour on the charger just before I head out

i did that before the shovel muster parked Friday and jumped Sunday after a couple of really cold nights.. battery is approaching 6 years, for day to day it dont miss a beat
