Just put in an Interstate 310CCA and it works very well. I was told it's the only one with a one year replacement warranty, not prorated. Braille's are hard to get but Deka's are the battery manufacturers for HD, and are told are good as well, Deka claim to have an excellent drop test spec!. The reason they supply Harley.
The only problem I've had with the Interstate was the longer bolts provided with the spacers were too short due to the thickness of all the connections at each post. They reason you need the spacers is because the actual Interstate battery side post connection mount surfaces are not flush with the side of the battery case. I just bought longer bolts, but be careful they aren't too long and push against the backside of the post and stress it.
I wanted a Braille battery but I had to have a new battery ASAP so I couldn't wait for shipment of the Braille. No nearby Braille dealers so I went with the Interstate instead this time

I know alota guys lik'em, but I've had nothing but headaches with Dekas. My 06 K9 came stock with one, then went thru two others in just two riding seasons. Warranties are cool, but they don't do you much good when they leave you standed in the middle of nowhere at 2 am. Read on here that alota guys have tried HD batteries. So that's what I did, too, several months ago (standard softail battery). And so far, at least, no problem. Brailles are pretty much the gold standard, tho

The guy who owned the K-9 before me put an Interstate in 2 weeks before I bought the bike from him. I have the receipt for the purchase of the battery. I have now had the bike for three months and it has always been kept on a tender. The battery died the other day after 2 hours of riding. Stopped to eat some lunch and it would not turn over and I had to jump it so I could get home. I called him and he said that it was his second Interstate battery after his first one died 5 months after getting it and this was the replacement. I am now done with Interstate and would be glad to get in on a Braille Group Buy!!!
thanks I found that info to, but it didnt list any specs.... battery proformance.. I been thinking of the HD softail but if the deka bat is better I may go thay way..
