WHY don't you buy one of those 720 CCA batteries and be done with the problem forever and it will last twice as long ?

The only reason was the cost.

HEY you wouldn't mind spending that price for booze and food in a weekend and the battery will last twice as long as those lead acid ones so don't be cheap when it comes to your favorite hobby The HARLEY guys spend more than that for an oil change $640. Cost my friend $1,100.00 for a 500 service on his 1000cc MV Agusta. Youll find everything electrical will work better with the powerful battery

While we're on the subject -- I look around at batteries and see mostly "generic product" description. What is outer envelope size for the battery on the Rocket ?

I have recently learned that the big CCA lithium batteries may not be the ticket for everybody:
Antigravity YTX12 24-Cell 720CA Lithium Ion Battery

I have a list of eight so far.
They run 6.9" long, 3.4" to 3.5" wide & 6.1" to 6.2" in height.
The CCA run from 155 to 525.

THERE ya go thats another choice that's going to crank the hell out of any Rocket regardless of the compression or how cold it gets

The lithium batteries also last twice as long as the lead acid and you could use 2 of those blasters for 1440 cranking amps WOW

Beware of the Lithium Iron Phospate batts in cold weather and near full discharge!


I am looking for a battery for my 07 Classic and my experience with a Shorai LiFeP04 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) is that if you have a near full discharge event-toss it in the trash. If you drop to below 8.0V-not recoverable.

Have you guys experienced that and in a lead acid what is the recommended go to beyond the Yuasa(I never have luck with those)?

Thanks!
