What size battery?

WVHarley · 05-23-2011, 10:47 AM

I have a 73 gas Harley & the battery is finaly dead. Will just a standard lawn & garden tractor battery be ok? Or do I need something with a little more CCA & more heavy duty?

THANKS

Mine has a old wore out battery from the core pile at the parts store. I would say a bigger lawn and garden batter would be ok.

my gas cart just had a low grade car battery.. i mean you might pay more for it but it will last for ever. i mean its all 12v

Any size that will fit is good. Mine is a group 24. pulled it out of an old ford pick up 5 years ago.

If it fits it works. $20 plus exchange and they load test it.

I put a group 24 from the local Fleet store in mine.
On sale, a woppin' $34.oo... I think the "Garden Tractor" battery was $25.oo and they usually only last a year, or maybe two.
