The same bulletin illustrates a China-made 66000485 service battery and distinguishes East Penn stock; these examples do not establish one maker or origin for every Harley battery. [2]

Who owns Harley-Davidson Batteries?

Harley-Davidson, Inc. through the Harley-Davidson Motor Company brand and parts business. [1]

Harley-Davidson’s annual report distinguishes its branded parts and accessories business from the company’s motorcycle manufacturing operations. The motorcycle badge therefore identifies the brand, while the battery’s actual maker comes from its separate supplier records. [1] [2]

Who actually makes Harley-Davidson Batteries products?

The August 2025 bulletin identifies East Penn batteries in earlier production vehicles and Leoch batteries in the newer covered configurations. International service-stock transition depends on region and remaining inventory. The separate Lithium Life instruction sheet does not identify every lithium battery OEM. [2] [3]

Where are Harley-Davidson Batteries products made?

The bulletin’s Figure 1 label for part 66000474 names Leoch Super Power (Vietnam) Company Limited at Binh Phuoc, Vietnam and states Made in Vietnam. Figure 3 shows service part 66000485 labelled Made in China. Those are two documented examples, not one origin for the whole catalog. [2]

Is Harley-Davidson Batteries made in China or the USA?

Yes, a China-made service battery is directly illustrated, alongside a Vietnam-made production example. A claim that every Harley battery is USA-made would miss those records. The Thailand brand address on the labels is distinct from their stated manufacturing origins. [2]

Same factory, different label

Harley’s bulletin allows certain East Penn and Leoch replacement combinations according to the vehicle’s market and inventory. That does not make the batteries physically identical, and the document explicitly distinguishes their terminal hardware. A shared Harley label is not proof of one factory or one specification. [2]

Where was your tire made?

A company address and a country of manufacture answer different questions. Start with your exact model.

  1. Read both sidewalls for the country-of-origin marking.
  2. Record the complete DOT tire identification number and date code.
  3. Check the specific size and production batch rather than another tire from the same brand.
