Hi, Y'all,

I apologize in advance, because I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death. ..but my search efforts have failed.
:bash:

Can folks recommend good After Market batteries (to replace the Harley OEM for a 2016 VRSCF Muscle)?

For example, these two seem to get good reviews...but are they the correct Height x Width x Depth? (When I find out, I will update this post.)

Look at THIS THREAD.
It explains all you need to know.
Here is a LINK to one source. I believe they will ship to your door 2-3 days free of charge. There may be cheaper sources on the internet but it is close to my house so I just ride up and change battery out in the parking lot.
Search for ETX-20L

A couple other options for the F:

DO NOT GET a Shorai LFX27L3-BS12 415 cca lithium battery. I went through two before I learned my lesson-- they're garbage.

The Antigravity ATX12-20 600cca lithium ion phosphate (LiFePO4) battery is a GREAT battery and MUCH lighter than a regular lead-acid. If you go this way, you'll also need an Optimate TM-471 lithium battery charger/maintainer and SAE connector.
