Yep. Be a good Boy Scout and be prepared. Although you should get more than 3 years on that old battery, it's much safer change it. I did the same thing but put my old battery in my gate opener. It went another year but froze the next winter. I'm not sure a new one would have made it but suspect it would. Low charge just not enough to keep it from freezing. At least I got another year. Not bad in my book. So use that old battery in something else. Got a lawn mower or UTV that will accept that size battery ?

Ha ha, thanks for the offer but don't hold it just for me. Someone up there might be able to use it though. I wouldn't put it in anything that wasn't very easy to get in and out though. It might be good for a hundred starts or not even get in two. Just bouncing it around handling if could finally short a cell. You just never know with batteries.

Had an 08 Road Glide. The original battery was still working at nine years. I read that Deka changed processes and the newer batteries weren't lasting as long.
Fact or fiction I don't know but I replaced it with Yuasa.
