Looking for a new battery for an 08+ Fireblade... Honda thought it would be smart to put a AA battery in this bike to save weight but it lasts about 3.5 minutes and the bike has 50:50 odds of actually firing up at any given time. Looking to put something more stout in there, but space is a constraint. Should I just give Honda money for whatever batteries the factory uses, or go elsewhere? Anyone have experience with something like Shorai lithium-iron batteries?
I run a LiFePO4 in my te450... it starts my bike each and every time, that's all I can say about it Much lighter and smaller than my lead acid battery it replaced, but all I really care about is longevity. Lead acid only lasted 3 years for me, and I'm hoping this lithium battery will last much longer (basing my hope on my r/c experience).
+1 on the LiFe batteries. I got my Ballistic battery from Pete's Superbike. I figure once you add shipping and taxes, it's cheaper. GP Spec also sells some (different brand though).
