Best battery

Hard to argue with a Deka battery which is made for Harley and you can buy them on eBay for $88. Made in the good Ol'USA too! Don't forget shipped to your door at that price!

I agree with Eric, tried a few different batteries including braille and for the money my opinion is that deka is best bet. I bought mine off ebay for $85 shipped, only a month old when it arrived.

They work well, the one in my bike when I bought it was 6 years old before it wouldnt hold a charge anymore

It's the exact same battery as the original. I talked to the manufacturer directly and they told me they slap a harley or deka sticker depending on where they are shipping it too

.... You know three guys with the Throttle X.. 
Oh boy are you gonna get an earful on this.. 
I think the throttlex is a re-branded Deka just by looking at the terminals. There are only like 3 battery manufactures in the US so not much options.Andy, Andy, Andy
Also, I get 540 Cranking Amps out of my 1 year old Walmart battery and 450 out of the 3 year old Braille. The Walmart battery typically craps out around year 1 so I wouldnt recommend it even though it puts out more amps. I used to recommend the Walmart one until it religiously craps out right around 12months haha. Although it's cheaper only about $60, think the Deka is still a better value and just replace it every 2 years. I don't know why people hold onto their batteries for too long, just makes for a bad day for a cheap part. Hell for $90 replace it every year and never have to worry! I don't trailer, so I can't chance a battery not worth it

O'Reilly auto parts sells their branded battery, but it is in fact a Deka. They're $104 locally and you can usually find a 20% off coupon online. Needed oneSaturday--my 7 year old Braille (yep) finally died and we were going for a ride. So in a pinch, for an extra $15 at worst, O'Reilly has the Deka made battery in the 20lb.
And I don't know how you guys are finding a Harley one for $90. I called them out of curiosity and they wanted $159

A throttle X battery interminably shorted out during our ride at the Kansas 11 year gathering and took out my tack, Speedo sensor and headlight. Not good. They did replace it for free no questions asked after me having it four months but repairs were 1K and he’ll for diagnose. I use the new Throttle X to power my trailer lights. No
way will it ever see the dog again....
