Go to the last page, first post has wrong part number, still can't figure out why mod or webmaster can't change it. Much cheaper than Triumph, too

It has the corrected number at the top of the thread.

Duracell replacement, Heavy Duty for arctic environments version of OEM. Has a little bit higher CCA.

It made an audible difference in cranking speed vs an OEM battery.

No issues whatsoever with cranking after swapping to the Duracell even below 32f.

EDIT: Wiring is all stock to the starter etc.

That's so funny… I took my old battery to the local Batteries Plus to be recycled. Took a look at what they had and it was all either generic store brand or Duracell. I thought, who puts a Duracell in their bike? In everything I have EVER read about the best motorcycle batteries, I have never seen ANYONE recommend a Duracell.

First time for everything! Glad to hear it's working out well. Maybe I'll give it a try next time around.

I was incredibly apprehensive about putting it in honestly. I'm just happy it's working and if it gives up the ghost I have a 2 year exchange for free through Batteries Plus.
