I think it's time for me to get a new battery. The bike is getting harder to start. I push the start button and everything dims...slugs to turn over and if I give it just a little gas is fires up. So instead of playing around with a battery tender. (I have no place to plug it in near the bike and don't want to install a battery before going to work.) I'm just going to buy a new battery. I really don't want to go to the dealership, cause I know they are going to charge a arm and leg. We do have a NAPA and a Auto Zone here.

Does anyone know a replacement model motorcycle battery that may be sold at NAPA or Auto Zone? If so what is the model number?

Thanks in Advance...

Hmmm called the dealer and the battery is 74.98, not too bad. I would like to see if I can beat that price though.

Check your local jap bike shops. Yuasa makes a good replacement at a reasonable price.

I haven't seen a sealed cell maintenance free motorcycle battery at Autozone. Not sure that I'd buy one if Autozone sold them.

My dealer (Glendale Harley) sold me an H-D AGM battery for $59.39 (BRAG discount). Normal price is $65.99. Part number 65948-00. I had looked for the Yuasa battery, but you MUST use a factory activated version (good luck finding one in stock anywhere), and they were more expensive than the H-D dealer (about $80).

Sam's Club can order one from Exide for about $45 The can look the exact number up for you or call Exide but it is a 14BS sealed battery, and make sure if they call for the itm number that it is in fact for a SEALED battery. You might also try Glenn's Cycle Supply 861 Mapunapuna St 808-732-5547 or try Quick Fix cycles, he might be able to order you a battery. Hate to say it, but you may need to have South Seas check your stator...

Maybe match it up with one from Wal-Mart. If you do make certain it's a maintence free one though. You do not want one with acid in there.

WheelAndRudder.com is a new Odyssey dealer. I think these are drycell batteries.
