Best battery for 2005 Chopper?

[2004BC]

Hi,

FINALLY, wrapped up all of the customizing, bugs, carb tuning, etc and went to test ride and barely turn over clicking...... So, while I'm troubleshooting everything I wanted to ask what is the most powerful, reliable, best battery I can buy for my 2005 Chopper? FYI I always keep it on a battery tender when not in use. Thanks!

Every couple years I just pick up a AGM Harley battery, no issues.

Hahahaa! Good point! I should have been more specific. What I meant to ask is are there new types of batteries or technologies that are the best today, in 2017, that perhaps I don't know about. For instance Lithium ion or something similar.

Also, I put "best battery" in the search and read for hours but never found a thread specifically discussing batteries. Just everywhere the word battery was used.

Finally, since I don't mind asking questions that may appear to be dumb, and some that actually are dumb, WHY do my pictures from Photobucket say"3rd party hosting" and how on earth do I fix that????

MX20L - MOTORCYCLE BATTERY - 500+ CCA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E49MQZ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hINfAbKX8QBV0

That's the one I'm running also, best CCA for the buck

Thanks! Just added it to my cart on Amazon. They have Lithium Ion batteries and I just read through a lot of the comments. Will stick with this one. Simple enough. Thanks!

I'm just not sold on the Lithium battery's yet, but they are making strides. I cringe when I see those hoverboards catching on fire.

Very simple to fix your Photobucket problem just have to pay them $400 a year now for the privilege that used to be free.

I had good luck with them for years but glad you told me about this 500 cca it's definitely awesome

We'll see what you say after you've actually started your bike, so far it's only been polished...

The Harley battery is all I use anymore. I have had zero problems out of them. Most last 4 years, and had one we changed out at 7 years and I'm still using it for a test bench battery, for the last 4 years

I went bye bye back in the beginning of June when pictures I posted here disappeared. I would have thought they would advise you of a new policy change and give you a chance to upgrade before blocking all your posted pictures. Wonder how its working out for them?
