New Battery

I've been told you should change the battery every two years or else you chance getting stranded. I haven't owned my Harley long enough to find out

If you ride it often and use a tender you can get more than 2 years out of OEM batteries, they are pretty stout

As Jack say, if it's a Genuine OEM and you take care of them (Tender), they seem to really last.

I just started using Tenders myself this year, and I can't believe how much they help keeping the battery at "peak" performance.
I use to just buy new batteries every few years but now they are just too expensive to just waste.

The stock HD part number 94624-97B batter harness is fused at 7.5 amps.
I've heard of riders trying to plug their heated gloves into the pigtail, but thinking that is a 15 amp draw for gloves.
