What's the best battery to put in my 09 FLTRSE3?

Nothing wrong with the stock HD batteries, other than they cost too much.

These look promising:  http://www.batterymart.com/p-Big-Crank-ETX30L-Battery.html?Category_Code=harleydavidson-cvo-flh-1803cc-motorcycle#tabrev

X2... but when I figure that my original battery lasted almost 8 years (maintained by a Battery Tender Plus), and I got the new one when dealer was having a 20% off sale it was worth staying OEM IMHO.

I always go by CCA (cold cranking amps) first and price second.  I've heard many, many times that there are only 4 (I think thats right) battery manufacturers. They make them per the customers specs and put the customers name on it (HD's name/logo, not the end user!).  Down thru the years I've used HD and Interstate batteries; can't tell any difference, other than the Interstates are a few $$'s less than HD.  I have a friend who swears by Yuasa, but I've never used one.  A guy in Interstate Batteries told me that theirs are made by Johnson Controls, and that they are supposedly the best.
