Not brand ive seen before...how long is the warranty  ?

5 years supposedly

[boboneleg]

Just buy a Yuasa or Motobatt, most other makes are cheap for a reason.

The Noco lithium I have had on the Glide for a year and a half is excellent.

I didn't get much luck with those , after two replacements ...don't know if the two batteries that I got were defective ...it was sure messing up the charging system...the dash cluster would go black and the bike would shut completely off a minute down the road..

Clearly an inferior charging system. Plus if I recall you kept them on a battery tender which is the best way to destroy lithium cells.

I had to...the thing wouldn't kick over if it was sitting for 5 days , it was part of the recall, battery drain...some computer wasn't shutting down completely after the ignition was switched off...

Well you can't fix stupid and here's the proof.

Well you got that right finally..lol 

 

But did you switch it to lithium? The Noco charger can charge multiple types of battery. If so it must have been wrecked by the crappy charging system in the bike.

[Buckster]

Also if you were not riding for more than a month then you should remove the battery connector and leave it in a semi discharged state. Lithium does not like being held at 100% for months at a time. That information is readily available.

Idiot and idiot...the bike was never sitting more than a week...it was early summer when I changed to lithium..

Then what was the point of using a tender? Oh yeah, the bike is shit, I forgot.

Don't know why ...but something on the bike didn't like the lithium battery, switched over to a gel battery, the bike ran perfectly for the rest of the 24 season, the recall was only done this year...it was causing the bike to over charge...

If I recall they have only started saying they are lithium friendly from 2025 year.

It’s not about price I am struggling to find a Yuasa one to fit.  I have head that Motobatt can be iffy on quality as well.  I can’t be arsed with Lithium.   I just want a decent battery, happy to just a a standard lead acid type if I can find something.   
 

Just bought a Yuasa replacement for the Hornet as the standard one has shat the bed after 2 years.   I don’t think I ride that bike enough.

Check the charging voltage, if the voltage reg on the alternator exceeds the max charge voltage for the Li battery it will kill it. I can’t recall the max for a Li battery but google will have it.

For the little bit extra money id stick with yuasa or another heard of brand, no point in skimping on things, if you need it buy properly and you'll buy once
