This is what I replaced mine with http://www.batterymart.com/p-Big-Crank-ETX14-Batte ry.html There are several threads around.... this battery is a DEKA AGM made my East Penn. There are several versions of it around with different labels. If I bought one today.. probably try this http://www.shoraipower.com/s-56279-1200-XB12-all.a spx |

Harley battery if you want lead, or Erik Buell Racing battery if you want lithium. All other cheaper batteries just don't stack up. |

I like the lithium, but I don't really have the money for that. (I should lose 10 pounds myself anyways). I just have a hard time buying HD stuff hmmmm, may be others that feel the same. Gamdh how has the big crank been working for you? |

I put an Odyssey in mine but had to modify the battery box to get it to fit. It was great until my stator shorted and blew the VR. I was getting 17V spikes and blew out my headlights! After I fixed everything the battery tested good but it still didn't turn over very fast. It's been getting really bad so I worked on my grounds and even ran a ground strap to the engine but it didn't help. Finally I took the battery to a parts store and had them load test it. It's supposed to put out 545 CCA and it was only putting out 220! I guess the stator fried it. I just ordered a new one from batterymart. If I had known about the East Penn battery I would have gotten one. It's an AGM battery too. |

Big crank here too. USA made AGM and better / cheaper than any China made battery i've found. |
