Hey mate, welcome to the forum.

Haven't had first-hand experience with swapping to lithium in a pan-am, although I see lots of chatter relating to it over in the states, with success.

This looks to be the main go-to: ATX12-HD-RS

Might pay to compare the specs side by side - I haven't had a chance to look at the HD part # you mentioned yet.

The HD one likely doesn't include the "Re-Start" feature, but that may not be needed.

Yes, some Pan America (2021-2023) owners have swapped to lithium batteries (e.g., AntiGravity, Shorai) for weight savings and better cold cranking. Results vary—some report improved starts, while others note voltage sensitivity and the need for a lithium-compatible charger.   Check if your bike's charging system is lithium-friendly before switching. HD's system should support it, but monitor voltage closely.  
is yours damaged?

Just looking at options. The NZ Harley lithium batteries are not good but there are others out there. I will just put up with it for now although I know the new Century Everride batteries produce more power than they advertise.
