FastBikeGear are the distributor of the Dutch Ultrabatt range of motor sport and road Lithium batteries in New Zealand.
We are one of the largest suppliers of automotive Lithium Battery technology in New Zealand.
The cost of this battery technology is plummeting, but Lithium batteries still cost more than lead acid batteries.
One of the key justifications for paying more for a Lithium motorcycle battery is that a Lithium battery with an inbuilt BMS in it has a target life of 10 years and customers should expect them to last between five years and 10 years.
But if most people's lead acid batteries are lasting more than 5 years the cost justification is not done and dusted in favour of a lithium battery until the price drops even further.
Also has anyone noticed the original batteries supplied with their bikes seem to last longer than the replacement lead acid batteries?
Because we can't be sure of the answer until you answer the question, we want your feed back. All respondents will see the results.
Many thanks for participating.
