Changing the Battery on my 1999

[V-Rod]

Well I have been away (business trip) for the past 10 days and decided to go take the new ride for a little spin to keep her oil flowing and tires turning. I also wanted to continue trying to figure out the issue with the conv top light.

I keep the car in a self storage bay for the winter, so it is cold and I also lock it which arms the anti-theft alarm system (red light on the dash). Today I opened the garage door and tried to unlock the car and no go. Held the rear trunk button on my key and again no go. The red light is still ON on the dash though. So I thought well maybe it is a tired battery. Damn I wish I had used a battery tender. So I came here to the forum and researched battery info and decided to head over to AutoZone for a new battery. I purchased a DuraLast Platinum H6-AGM replacement battery along with a new 1.25amp Deltran battery tender. They did not have a simple 9v memory retainer.

Tomorrow I would like to tackle swapping out the battery. Is there anything besides the radio that is going to lose its settings? I have my 13mm and 10mm sockets and box wrenches ready to go along with all the standard toolbox stuff.
