mikeyboy · Jul 11, 2016

hi chaps,can anyone point me towards a recommended supplier for a lithium battery for one of my bikes,it needs to be as small as possible ,but have enough power to spin an 80's gpz 550 motor,
i'll admit, i cant be arsed to trawl ebay,id rather go with a recommendation for a good supplier,

I've had a Shorai 12v battery supplied by Carrot Cycles fitted to my 750 Norton for 3 years, its remains fully charged over winter and has been just fine and dandy. I did have to fit modern rectifier/regulator but thats all. Can't make any constructive comment regarding electric starting but I did ask about fitting one to my GSWC and they weren't too keen to recommend one, phrases like there can be issues with the latest BM bikes were used so I didn't pursue fitment. Maybe things have moved on now :nenau

What I would suggest Mike, is give them a call and ask for their thoughts and recommendations before heading over to Lincoln. I'll be up their way in the next week so If you want something collecting I can do that for you

i bought a Lithium battery for R80 Rt project.
i had it from Alien Motion USA.. good guys to deal with i thought.

AM12-01 L - for upto 1400cc Harley 1200 Sportster, Ducati 1299 pannigale, Hyabusa etc

my invoice is for 89$ though i would suspect that is lower to minimise the import duty .. listing at $165 dollars now.

Just fitted a Shorai to my FE550 Husaberg. I got a good deal from M&P. Seems to be the bizzo.

Trail riding in Belgium yesterday, the battery got a real pasting due to lack of clutch fluid and it started the bike every time - even in gear! Truly impressive.
