    I apologise if this is a frequent asked question 
    09 rocker fxcw I live in alice springs NT 
    Noticed batteries for rocker at a cheap price on eBay  
    I have a bike shop here that is an agent for harley Davidson, also we have repo, and a supper cheap auto 
    Not really in a hurry as the battery is still going but it's struggling a bit on starting the bike after an over night charge 
    Happy to pay for a more expensive battery if value for money 
    Thanks bloodog

    I haven't used the genuine hd, when my last SSB battery died I went for the SSB lithium battery, the thing is super light standard battery weighs about 7kg, lithium comes in around 1.5kg. The thing turns the bike over without any drama even when it has been sitting for weeks. 
    Ordered online from batteries direct, less than 24 hours later it was on my door step! 

    Not saying not to use the genuine as I have no expirience with them, just some good for thought

    this is what I bought (and recommend), my stock battery lasted 9 years and was still working ok just not as strong as it was...
    this one still fires my bike even if i forget to depress my decomp valves, my stock battery wouldn't turn the engine over if I forgot...
