    Ultrabatt lithium batteries

    Looks like these Ultrabatt batteries are just the shizz! Thanks for the tech info, Bogan! And available from Fast Bike Gear too.
    I know where I'll be going if I decide to get a lithium battery for the sem fiddy...

    To be fair, one of the sem fiddys here still has its OEM Yuasa. The other one needed replacing after a period of inactivity with the radar detector still plugged in. The original OEM one just gets a battery tender on it from time to time, and is still performing well after 6 1/2 years.

    LMAO!

    Have you not tried a Shorai?

    Read the British Leyland thread for a laugh, seems Scumdog is getting blowjobs from Ed.

    MotoBatts offer the best bang (zap?) for buck.

    I'm the same, my Daytona is now nearly 6 years old and i'm still running the original battery and it still starts on a cold winters morning. I don't even put a trickle charge on it.
    Trumpydom!

    Yep... I guess the sky doesn't fall down if you don't have a lithium battery! I am a big fan of conventional Yuasa batteries, although I will go for an Ultrabatt if I do want to change.

    Eh? does a 919 need 360CCA, would have though the $289 240CCA would be plenty...

    And chances are you don't need a trickle charger if you ride it often, self discharge rates on LiFePO4 are lower than for lead acid so a few months off should be fine. The BMS ensures there is no need to buy/borrow a balance charger every now and then to get its optimal lifetime as with some other brands.

    Also, these are the standout choices for racebikes running total loss systems. Lightweight technology with a low voltage cutout to prevent you just being left with an expensive brick if you forget to charge it between races...

    Tiny wee things are good for modders too when low space and weird installation angles are desired.

    $289.00 for an Ultrabatt for my sem fiddy. Worthy of consideration...
