dont think there is anything special about the batteries used in the slingshot - I suspect any high quality battery of the correct size should work just fine. my 2016 came with the smaller motorcycle battery and I replaced it last year just because I figured it was 6+ years old and due - went on this site and ordered a Duracell - - like you I have not added any electronics so have never seen any point in changing from stock size
Uses the same battery as my Rocket 3 Touring. Whatever you do, DO NOT get a lithium ion battery, over promises and under delivers.
Bill the batteries from Batteries Plus work well. Last was about $130.00 ...
Get the Big 3 and the Optima red battery;;;JMO?
I am still running the small battery in Sling II. The only reason that I ever changed the battery was to get rid of the lead acid battery and the corrison.
I'm in the same situation as you Bill.
The build date on my SS is August 2014.
Was delivered to my dealer in December.
Battery is probably 10 years old right now.
I'm considering doing the same.
I think our green buddy Shatneyman might also be running OEM in his '15.
Nobody has recommended a battery yet except the Optima
(Too expensive for my needs)

Just not a Interstate battery. Unless things have changed with them. I also say not a lead acid battery because of the corrision on the terminals
If you get a BIG3, altenator with a 240, you will have 14.5 volts with the engine started, and with the engine off, I have 12.3 volts. More than enough ...POWER!

Then what kind would it be??
(Asking for a friend....)

Yep, still running the same original battery, and it works fine so why change it? Kind of like my wife, after 35 years the spark might be a little weak but starts me up when needed.
