I would second Dan's recommendation on the Braille. Have had mine a little over three years and is still going strong. Your stats you stated on the Braille are not correct. This is what I show. •425 Cold Cranking Amps •574 Cranking Amps •1067 (PCA) Pulse Cranking Amps and 21 amp hr. I believe the tag on mine stated 462 CC amps when it was tested at the factory. I don't know anything about the Lightning Start Battery it may be a great battery. If you decide on a Braille check with Auto Anything they used to give a discount to forum members. Check out the Tomioka battery also have heard good things about them.

I'm in need of a new battery, I was set on getting a braille b2015 but after doing some research I found this power source lightning start battery. It has 500 cca and 20 amp hr- braille has 283 cca and 10 amp hr. Braille is $199 and this other one is $98. Anyone used the power source one? Would it be worth trying for half price and more cca? I know it'll fit because it replaces harley 65989-97C which is what I have currently. Any ideas would be great, Thanks!

I had the Lighting Start, worked good for 2 1/2 years, then starting failing, it was on
a tender at all times when not riding. Now trying a Braille.

I got the stats from auto anything website for the b2015...maybe they have wrong info?
Braille No-Weight Batteries, Braille No Weight Car Battery

Check out this link from Jeggs, they have more information than the Braille website. The B2015 is the one I have that fits the BD.

I just bought a lightning start battery for the road Star. The terminals are cheap but it starts the bike fine so I'm soon to find out if it's a good battery. I buy a new battery every year because when they decide to go they go and I hate being stuck on the side of the road. The $98 price is good insurance for a years worth of non worry. I took off the fuel pump on the RS and went direct. I forgot to turn on the gas petcock and tried to start it for an hour. The lightning start battery still kept going so so far so good.

I purchased one of these several months ago and it worked great for a couple of months until it wouldn't hold a charge. BUT, since it has a 1 year warranty, the vendor replaced it at no charge. No problems since and it cranks the dog quickly. :whoop:

I would definitely buy another.

X-ray Doc · Nov 17, 2014

The terminals look to be the same as all the other batteries I have had, not any cheaper.
I got the bat 3 years ago, so they could have changed, but I never had any problems
with them, no problems until it started to fail.

bearman · Nov 26, 2014

As long as the warranty starts when you bought it, no problem.
I got a Power Source battery back in the spring from a local store, so far its good.

Bought a Lightning Start battery
WPX20L-LS (500 CCA)
Sold by: PowerSportBatteries
$99.95 Deivered from Amazon

[ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C15M4WO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]Amazon.com: WPX20L-LS Lightning Start Battery: Automotive[/ame]

Installed it last night, and WOW it starts the shit out of my bike. spins it faster then idle speed I think, even dead cold start. Hopefully it last a full year.

The Harley battery I have now is dated back 4 years, not sure when it was put in as I've only had bike a few months but I'd say that was pretty good.

I've used several of the HD batteries 310 CCA I believe they go the distance vey good choice.

I know deka makes them but i talked to a worker at the factory who said the HD batteries are made separate and with higher quality standards either way they are durable in both my 05 and 2011 Big Dogs
