Just buy a Yuasa or Motobatt, most other makes are cheap for a reason.

The Noco lithium I have had on the Glide for a year and a half is excellent.

I didn't get much luck with those , after two replacements ...don't know if the two batteries that I got were defective ...it was sure messing up the charging system...the dash cluster would go black and the bike would shut completely off a minute down the road..

Clearly an inferior charging system. Plus if I recall you kept them on a battery tender which is the best way to destroy lithium cells.

I had to...the thing wouldn't kick over if it was sitting for 5 days , it was part of the recall, battery drain...some computer wasn't shutting down completely after the ignition was switched off...

But did you switch it to lithium? The Noco charger can charge multiple types of battery. If so it must have been wrecked by the crappy charging system in the bike.

[Buckster]

Also if you were not riding for more than a month then you should remove the battery connector and leave it in a semi discharged state. Lithium does not like being held at 100% for months at a time. That information is readily available.

Then what was the point of using a tender? Oh yeah, the bike is shit, I forgot.

Don't know why ...but something on the bike didn't like the lithium battery, switched over to a gel battery, the bike ran perfectly for the rest of the 24 season, the recall was only done this year...it was causing the bike to over charge...

If I recall they have only started saying they are lithium friendly from 2025 year.

Possible , haven't really checked on it , I only know some.. not all were having issues after switching to lithium 23 and older...I might look at another lithium after this one craps out...but my confidence has been tarnish, I was only lucky I was close to home and  I managed to limp it back ...I just think for myself anyway a gel battery suit me more...what if the battery craps out on a ride..you can't charge it with a regular charger to get the bike going or giving it a boost with cables...

It’s not about price I am struggling to find a Yuasa one to fit.  I have head that Motobatt can be iffy on quality as well.  I can’t be arsed with Lithium.   I just want a decent battery, happy to just a a standard lead acid type if I can find something.   
 

Just bought a Yuasa replacement for the Hornet as the standard one has shat the bed after 2 years.   I don’t think I ride that bike enough.
