Best replacement for the 66010-97A without paying the HD price ???

 

I would get the HD battery. You can get replacements from Sears, Pep Boys etc... but they SUCK.. I had a brand new one from R&S Strauss a few years back, did the full charge like they wanted, got to Myrtle Beach Bike Week fired up fine the 1st day, then that night I had my very low draw LED's on and it killed the P.O.S battery. Went to HD and bought one, I use my LED's all the time and it's still good today.. For the $20-30 you save it's not worth it...

Just bought one for my Road King here. Deka makes the HD battery.

99.00 delivered to my door was tough to beat.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm placing my order today!

 

DEKA for sure! Just put one in my bike....

 

I failed to ask about the brand, but i noticed that "Cycle Gear" offered a lifetime warranty on one of the battery brands they sell. This would be a great consideration if you plan on keeping the same bike forever!
I do plan on keeping the bike I currently have, so this might work for me! I'm definitely going to check into this when I do need a new battery.

 

If this is the one you saw notice that it is not a sealed battery like the OEM Deka's & is shipped dry and you will need to have acid put in it locally.

I replaced mine last year with the Harley Battery and only paid $99.00 at the local dealer even though the sticker said $149.00. Talk to the parts guy they will usually discount if you ask..

 

33% off at the dealer, that's hard to believe. Mine was going to be 139.00 @ the dealer.
