Topic: Battery type make a difference with m-unit?

[Michaelsoberanes]

Just switched to AGM after three lithiums melted on me while my current setup shorted. M-unit have a favorite type of battery? I wouldn't think so...

Using an Anti-Gravity lithium battery as well as many others i know with no issues. It is imperative you update your charging system to a newer regulator/rectifier otherwise there is potential risk of battery meltdown/fire.

If your setup is shorting, its not the battery, its something else and should probably be dealt with first.

Regardless of battery type, be certain that it has sufficient storage (amp hour rating) to support your bikes needs. The stock bike was 12aH, and most Anti-Gravity units are much smaller. They can work, but your bike has anemic charging characteristics. Meaning, the system is in a deficit when the motor is spinning at less than 2,500 RPMs. Stop and go traffic at night will drain your battery. Electric starts draw a lot of reserve power from the battery.

I just checked my new AGM battery, it's 12ah
