question on batteries

[fury107]

ok im sure this was covered somewhere in here but i will ask anyways. as i have already killed one battery and am sure im losing another here real soon(clears all data from trip and clock on odometer).what is the current thoughts on the newer lithium ion batteries? good bad or other. will i be wasting money or is this a good investment? what is a good brand.

Let me refer you to page 2 of General Discussion (Hard Start Problem Fixed) and Page 4 (Battery Comparison)

You will read about the different problems others are having, and the different batteries being attempted, plus other info.

I have the Shorai lithium ion right now......took 3 months after killing stock battery to start having issues with the Shorai. 2nd Shorai in now while other out for testing.

So, for me, at this point, not sure if there's a battery out there worth the money and still not convinced the batteries are the problem(s).

Just my input.

Agreed, have the same shorai battery.....it works, it's expensive and you have to buy it's dedicated charger to keep it "equalized"....imo, get a simple oem battery each year.

I have the same stock battery now for two years, I run with alot of led on even when park. When finish riding for the day I plug it in to a battery tender. It 's been working fine for me
