Very informative article. I switched over to a Shoria lithium battery in my '92 Ducati. The absence of weight (carried that high on the bike) was immediately noticeable. Going on 4 years now and its only been charged once, during an extended cold stretch last winter, on a specific charger I purchased with the battery. A contrast all of the previous years running a standard battery before, when it stayed hooked up to a Battery Tender to survive more than 2 or 3 weeks of inactivity. Especially in the winter. |

I have been very happy with the Shorai Li battery that I installed in my RS last year. The RS charging system seems to do a pretty good job keeping the battery fully charged. I plug in an Optimate lithium battery charger (just like the one shown in the article) when I return home from a ride and it only bulk charges for a few minutes before going into its float mode.

Zitat von Ray im Beitrag #5 I used a cheap (Scorpion-brand) lithium battery on my 2009 F650GS and really noticed the lighter weight than the original lead-acid battery. But that was due the the battery's placement on that bike, which was directly under the "tank" cover, as the fuel tank is located under the passenger's seat. However, when used on the RS, not so much. But the RS sure doesn't have any problem spinning the engine in the morning when starting using a Shorai lithium battery.
