Author Message   Reverendjc Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2011 - 07:19 pm:        Looking to replace battery in 06 ULY. recommendations on battery and place to purchase.   Gamdh Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2011 - 07:32 pm:        This is what I replaced mine with http://www.batterymart.com/p-Big-Crank-ETX14-Batte ry.html There are several threads around.... this battery is a DEKA AGM made my East Penn. There are several versions of it around with different labels. If I bought one today.. probably try this http://www.shoraipower.com/s-56279-1200-XB12-all.a spx   Froggy Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2011 - 07:55 pm:        Harley battery if you want lead, or Erik Buell Racing battery if you want lithium. All other cheaper batteries just don't stack up.   Reverendjc Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2011 - 08:05 pm:        I like the lithium, but I don't really have the money for that. (I should lose 10 pounds myself anyways). I just have a hard time buying HD stuff hmmmm, may be others that feel the same. Gamdh how has the big crank been working for you?   Gamdh Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2011 - 08:10 pm:        Installed on 12/3/2008, no issues with it at all.   Tootal Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2011 - 10:16 pm:        I put an Odyssey in mine but had to modify the battery box to get it to fit. It was great until my stator shorted and blew the VR. I was getting 17V spikes and blew out my headlights! After I fixed everything the battery tested good but it still didn't turn over very fast. It's been getting really bad so I worked on my grounds and even ran a ground strap to the engine but it didn't help. Finally I took the battery to a parts store and had them load test it. It's supposed to put out 545 CCA and it was only putting out 220! I guess the stator fried it. I just ordered a new one from batterymart. If I had known about the East Penn battery I would have gotten one. It's an AGM battery too.   Gamdh Posted on Thursday, March 03, 2011 - 10:35 pm:        For reference http://www.dekabatteries.com/   Johnboy777 Posted on Friday, March 04, 2011 - 09:49 am:        I have the Deka/Big-Crank/East Penn as well. I do what it supposta do.   Jphish Posted on Friday, March 04, 2011 - 10:46 pm:        Big crank here too. USA made AGM and better / cheaper than any China made battery i've found.
