Hi folks, I am in need of a new battery for my 2012 HD Trike. Does anyone have any suggestions and/or recommendations for a new battery over the stock HD batteries? You feedback will be most appreciated.

If you keep a battery tender connected when not being ridden you can easily get 7 years out of a battery. I've even heard of one guy getting 9 years out of one but I think after a full 7 years I'd change. That's when I changed mine in my 07 at the winter of 14. The original battery was still cranking but I could tell it was beginning to get slower doing it.
Replaced mine today on the road. a group of us took a ride and about 75 miles from home it would not crank. the closest thing around was an O'reilly and they had a ETX30LA I put it in and everything worked. the battery was in a 2014 Triglide so only three years old and stays on battery tender when parked.
Batteries are mysterious black box's... Some will last 8 years, and some will give up the Ghost in only a year or two...:Shrug:
Battery Mart. Com Big Crank Battery good price and good battery. Hit or miss with some batterys as far as how long they last. In FL I am lucky to get 3 years out of them and thats hooked up to a tender 24/7. Doc
I'm in the battery replacement mode as well so lots of good information in this thread. Curious about some of the replacement batteries being use as they fall below the recommended specs in the owner's manual... 405 CCA and 28 Ah. Would appreciate any feedback on this....
Thanks
