Replacement Battery

[Sunman]

I am going to replace the 4 year old battery in my 2015 Freewheeler before an upcoming trip just as a precaution. Whenever the bike is parked in the garage it is on a battery tender but it has always been my practice to replace a battery when it is 4 years old. I did a search and found a couple of threads for batteries and saw Big Crank, Odyssey and Banshee batteries mentioned. I replaced one in my 2005 Electraglide CVO with a Deka battery.

Who has replaced their FW battery and what did you buy?

Thanks,

Sunman

There are only a few companies that actually manufacture batteries. East Penn makes a lot of batteries and private labels them - Deka and Big Crank. As far as I know they still make the OEM batteries for Harley and sold by Harley dealers.

I've bought the Big Crank battery from batterymart.com and been well pleased with it.

I had to have mine replaced in St. Louis at Doc's Harley, so I didn't have to make a decision.

Have a fun trip.

Sunman, how did the Deka battery you used in your CVO perform?

I never had a problem with it. It was still in the bike when I traded it in. I believe it was about 3 years old then. I always keep a battery tender hooked up when my bike is in the garage.

I am going to throw another hat in the ring for replacement batteries for the FW, & this applies the Tri-Glides also.

Lowe's sells a Deka AGM battery, made by East Penn, the same U.S. company that makes the HD OEM battery & the Big Crank battery.

400 CCA & comes fully charged for $106. You order online & they ship it free to your nearest Lowe's.

And Vets get a 10% discount. Here's a link:
