Funny you should mention those two batteries. I've had this bike for six years and those are the only two batteries I've had. I replaced the Yusa on a whim because I thought it may have been causing my issues at the time. Turned out otherwise. I guess I got lucky twice now!

So far the best out there is big boar 350ca $199-$265.Now I have kinetic batteries made.They are 850 cranking amps and $75-$95 less than them.So far I cant kill them $135 free ship
ebay Item number:250918739813

DONT BUY HARLEY OR YUASA.Not made for BIG motors and starters used on them.To much drain.

These companies were cheap and used hi gear starters that kill batteries and hard to turn over when cold.

The best starters are compufire and use 1/2-1/3 the juice to kick.Plus you can turn over 10 times before battery drained.

Yea I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATT EVERY YEAR UNTIL I REPLACED THE EHC NOW THE BIGGEST HARLEY BATT THEY SELL HAS LASTED 3 YEARS NOW:2thumbs:

My original battery lasted just over 3 years. Just changed it out this month, got a Harley battery in it now

Thanks Dave,

FYI, my Braille puts out 727 CCAs! I bookmarked it since you can't have enough options!

i repl, the factory one in 2011 [2007 bike!] went with batterys + 330 cca. no tender

 

[Billy the kid]

2006 bike, factory BDM battery always on a tender. I think it's time for a new one this spring

 

[stitches]

08 K-9 still with factory battery kept on tender ..... Although it does seem to be getting weak.

My bar tab is more than any fuckin batt.
You dont feed the dog, sometimes, it WILL bite.........

If it seems like it is weak, do a battery test. My Braille CCA are around 700! You can still use your factory battery for a spare generator if you have one. I think everyone in Louisiana has one!

My 07 K-9 came with a Harley AGM battery from the factory and it's still going but starting to get weak.

 

[Nukeranger]

Makes sense that an 07 or 08 original battery is starting to get weak. Harder and harder starts are a good indication.

My answer is yes....... and I like the way crayons taste.

 

[Roidz]

Just replaced my factory battery over the weekend. Lasted almost 5 years....not too shabby. I always have it on a battery tender when not in use though.

I have a 07 K9 and still running with the original battery (5 years old) but I am thinking of buying a Braille as I may be running on borrowed time.
