lithium battery?
« on: February 04, 2012, 05:15:21 PM »
I have been looking at purchasing a lithium battery for my CB750 cafe project. I will be using the headlight, turn signals, starter. For those of you who have done the same what battery would you recommend? I recently talked to a Shorai battery rep and he recommended using a LFX14A1 case size 1 or a LFX14L2 case size 2 battery. Is there another small compact battery  that you would recommend?

Check out the Anti Gravity batteries. Small but powerful for the size. Also look at the Ballistic Battery. Check with the site sponsors on availability through them.

Ballistics are great!  I have one in my '01 spirit 750.  It's an 8 cell, weighs about 1 lb, an starts her up no problem!!  I'm running a 4 cell lithium for the CB, but no starter.

I'm just getting a idea of what battery people have used and would recommend. I haven't made up my mind as to which one to buy yet. I live in Ohio and in early spring and late fall the temps can be pretty low at times. I'm just wondering about how well the bike will start using a lithium battery.
