No problem,whenever your ready.

Got it, Ben fixed the modem to run on a Shorai battery temporary until I can get another adapter tomorrow!

Shorai recommend the LFX14A1-BS12 so KB price is $220.00 with free postage. Lifecycle is about 4x a lead acid and they don't lose their charge. Without drain they'll hold their charge for about 12 mths. We haven't been able to flatten one by cranking, either, just ask Biggles!

I'll PM you, you can pay either by credit card over the phone or by direct credit into our account, or cash/cheque on pick up.

I've been running a Shorai battery on a total loss carb'ed track bike. It works great so far. After a typical 15 minute session, it re-charges in about 5-10 minutes with the Shorai charger.

The battery weights nothing and the current seems to stay around 13.2V while riding. What more can you ask for!?

That's quick! I thought you'd need a car charger to boost it between races. To know the Shorai will do it is good news!

The Shorai packing material is also very useful for repairing the TAB's (Tape Automated Bond's) on an LCD TV. Chopped up, it worked a treat and now no more horizontal lines!

Yes, the bike doesn't have a fuel pump or injectors, so it's only the ignition unit and coils that draw some power.

I had no problem getting a full charge between sessions, about ~20 minutes in between. I probably could have run one charge all day.

Different story with an injected bike running total loss. After a 15-20 minute session it takes about 45 minutes to fully recharge.

I'm using an LFX14 at the moment but I want to replace it with an LFX18 because I don't always get to recharge it between sessions. The larger capacity gives me a decent margin so I won't run out of charge out on track.

I'm also after a faster charger cos they'll handle charging at 10A easily. Blast 10A at it for 10 minutes then use the Shorai charger to balance the cells and top it up. Total of 15 minutes charging for 20 minutes use.

Anyone want a near new, hardly used 14A1 at a good price..?

[98tls]

Got mine in today mate,when the package turned up the mrs handed it to me and i thought "farking hell hes forgotten to put the bloody battery in the box",it really is that light.The TL fired up straight away so all is good.Delivery time was excellent and have to say the selection of adhesive backed foam pieces provided for a snug fit i have to applaudBrillant.I kept bugging the Mrs with (old/new batterys) "pick that one up" then "ok now pick that one up"Fwiw ive chatted with a few using them in TLs and other big twins stateside/England etc and all are very happy.Cheers a delight buying from ya.Havent weighed the old battery but methinks its somewhere in the middle of 6/7 pound,the new one comes in at 1.88That is truely worthwhile.

Same as the one i fitted today mate,148mm wide,150 high and 66mm thick (for lack of a better term)Will add that with all the sticky backed foam rubber that comes with it if cranking etc suits making it fit is a breeze.
