I bought the Odyssey battery and it's been well worth the money
UPdate - new battery and bluetooth 12v monitor installed last Monday night, all good since then including one day with 40 miles of driving and recharging in weather well below freezing (16 to 28 F), but I happen to be mostly driving other cars the rest of the time since.
FYI, altho I ordered from Remy, the sticker on the battery I received says [Deka Intimidator EHP](https://remybattery.com/batteries/brand/deka-intimidator-batteries.html?srsltid=AfmBOorxsFi7eoMbizQPDMsF1q-32WuvMxLPyiLSgftX8ExWmqHWSfq4). IDK if there's any functional difference - it seems to have the exact same terminal connections as the OEM BMW battery it replaced.
Also FWIW, despite no indicator on the shipping box for 'this side up' and it clearly getting Ace-Ventura'd around by FedEx, it did not leak or show any signs of damage inside the shipping box. It was well padded with foam made to fit the battery and fill the entire shipping box. So far I'm happy and the car seems to be too.
OEM for Harley. I've replaced several with an average lifespan of 5 yrs at 20%+ cheaper than Harley branded
As a harley tech I see more aftermarket batteries fail then I see oem ones fail. There are a few good aftermarkets like DEKA but for the most part aftermarket batteries seem to fail quicker then oem.
Odyssey makes the best. Optima for a middle end battery.
If willing to pay for a Optima yellow top, I suggest you get an Odyssey battery instead. It's a much better battery for about the same price.
Deka. Solid battery.
I finally spent the money on an odyssey extreme on my 7.3 along with an aftermarket starter and battery cables. Absolute game changer in the wintertime. I could leave it out in the cold for a week and it would start faster than the old battery setup would in the summer.
I've had decent luck with Odyssey batteries
Odyssey and wasn't a fan died quick
