Hi there guys,
New to this forum and to riding in general. Very excited to be getting stuck into my first project and I was just hoping that someone on here may have some advice or experience with 'antigravity' style mini batteries. Does anyone know of any good, small batteries that are easy to hide and available in NZ? I'm struggling at the moment to find much.
Thanks in advance.

Go with a BMS equiped one like Ultrabatt (available in NZ) as in built cell balancing is just a good idea; though not yet very common.

I'll plug Shorai. Got one in the sidecar (ZX12 powered) and its MINT!

PM me or post the details of the application and I can advise the battery model to suit.

Cheers guys.
Looking for a real small battery to hide away and utilise with a kick start for my CB360 for running the electrics. It shouldn't need to fire the starter motor, although if possible that would be a bonus. I was looking at the antigravity 4cell battery.
I have seen a battery eliminator as an option too. Anyone had any luck with those? Yes, I'm going for the open triangle which I know some don't appreciate but the project is coming on good so far and I love the clean minimal look.
Thanks for anyone able to advise. I'll have to post up the project soon for people to have a look.

A small Lithium battery is the fucken go. We had a tiny one not intended to crank a starter, it fired up our ZX12 sidecar...after two or three stabs of the button. Lithium being chemical will produce more amps after ya get it excited.
They're fucken small too!

you'd get away with a battery eliminator (capacitor bank) on a CB I reckon. Question is whether you want to retain ability to crank start. Imo, unless you take the starter completely off (ie, seriously into weight savings) then go with a wee lithium that'll do all of the above.
