Are Harley batteries better?
Harley-Davidson Lithium LiFE batteries weigh up to 70 percent less than a comparable AGM battery. Reducing weight can improve nearly every aspect of motorcycle performance. Because it is more efficient, a Harley-Davidson Lithium LiFE battery can charge much more quickly than an AGM battery. Lithium-Ion batteries, known for their high energy density, typically weigh less and pack more power compared to NiMH alternatives. With a capacity of up to 250 Wh/kg, Lithium-Ion batteries can significantly outperform NiMH, which generally maxes out around 100 Wh/kg.
What causes a Harley battery to drain?
You have a leak circuit somewhere. This is simply a low-level current drain on the battery that slowly sucks it dry. If you’ve had the bike on a charger, this drain would have to be bigger than the chargers capacity. Leaks can come from accessories, alarms, GPS power supplies, or other sources. Most factory Harley-Davidsons come equipped with AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) lead-acid batteries, which typically last 3 to 5 years under normal use. Here are common signs your battery may be due for replacement: Slow cranking or just a clicking noise at startup. Dim lights or flickering electronics.Clean your battery terminals, keep it fully charged (especially during the winter months), and check for signs of corrosion. We also recommend putting your motorcycle on a trickle charger when you’re not riding it to make sure your Harley-Davidson is always charged and ready to go.
