what is the highest cranking amp battery that will fit a 83flhtc? when i bought this bike last may it was supposed to be a new batt. exide. wasn't real impressed even through warm weather. rex

I have always had long lasting batteries by Interstate ,not to bad price wise, Had one exide that only lasted two years, I'll never buy one of them again

Rex.....If you can get a HD AGM battery to fit, they're the greatest.  Last about four years and zero maintenance.  I converted my FL shovel to take an FX battery, and I've never looked back.

Try Sears Diehard AGM.350 cold mine is 5 years old.

Ive had pretty good luck with the Interstate, 3 yrs and still going pretty strong , dont remember what the cca is, it cranks good

 I have the oddesey PC 680 ,five years plus and still going. No acid to spill, good cranking amps. You might help out your cold cranking by installing some new high load  cables..... Mule...

  Also run an Oddysey battery,,,,can be monted in any position and not affected by vibration,,,,,although kinda pricey

Odyssey has my vote.  Top quality in every way.  I've had mine for four seasons now without a problem one.  It cured all my battery woes and I'll never go back.
