Trying to consider my battery / intake options

[sssstew]

So i have a problem whereby the small Harley size battery in the Pog doesnt hold enough charge to not be used all week then start at the weekend, here is my engine bay :-



The small battery was put in so that the CAI can be installed, its intake hose goes down to the front fog light (which has been removed), now i dont really want to remove this intake as i am aware of the benefits it gives but i need to sort out a larger battery. So i went to Marshall who couldnt help then Battery World which said they have a special one and could mod the base plate to accept it, shame it was $380 for the battery alone! so near $450 once installed. A bit more than i wanted to pay.

Really i want to someone keep the CAI but also have a large OEM size battery... what does everyone think? possible?

mate i'd be checking your terminals or some sort of issue, myself and anthony run the dekka battery which has lasted for me a good 6 months already

really? you can leave yours a week and it starts ok?

Not looking forward to trying to find out where the issue is if the Dekka should be ok....

I'm not sure why you guys are having issues with the DEKA's as my first one lasted almost 3 years and don't have any drama's when left for a week or so??

What's the model number of the ones giving troubles?
