First time flat battery

Engineer said:

That's interesting information, maybe the batteries on the 1250GS self discharge more quickly than batteries on the other bikes? or the 1250GS simply consumes more 'standby' current?

1.36 Kg versus 4.6Kg for a Yuasa , but £260
Is the weight saving worthwhile?

yes but AGM only go down a little and cannot start bike, and can only use 30% of power, Lithium can use all power and be wake up easily again with little heat from lights start bike without turn engine 4 or 5 times, battery below will fix all problems with trackers for future, if you pay 20,000 gbp for new bike 250gbp more is not a lot to be sure and safe, and fit perfect in bike.

Out of curiosity, what is the actual Ah of the battery - I believe the term 'PbEq' means equivalent, rather than actual?

Could be important if you have something with a constant current drain attached, such as a tracker/alarm.

Hello … after being let down by the standard battery on my 1250 GSA (same scenario, out of the garage, a few miles and a number of restarts the bike simply does not have enough grunt to turn her over; no tracker, just the BMW SIM, and Optimate 4 when she’s in the garage).

Wondering if there is long term experience with the ATX12-HD (battery with plenty of CCA) in this forum …

Thank you ��
