Cb500 four and lithium battery Ballistic 4 or 8 cell?
« on: April 15, 2013, 01:43:30 PM »
Due to size limitation I am looking at the ballistic batteries. My bike is stock including the electronics and I would like  your opinion on these lithium batteries. Will a 4 cell work or do I have to go with the 8 cells one? I will keep my starter function and all the lights. Will I run into trouble with the original regulator and rectifier?

I just wired mine up with an 8 cell. Very happy overall.

When I was buying I did some research - everywhere I looked said the 4 cell wouldn't be enough. After playing with the setup I agree.
