I'm seriously considering one of these , anyone have yet and if so your thoughts . I fully under the pro & con thing but as my bike has gotten bigger the batteries are out classed by compression .
Over double the CCA with average life of 6 to 8 years fully charged in 15 minutes .

From my experience with RC helis, Li-Ion batteries require special charging electronics. If it's built into the battery, great. If not you will need to add it to your bike.

I believe that unless there are some in stock (warehoused) they will be hard to come by after the devastation that has happened in Japan.
Side Note: I had been known to be wrong once in awhile
I like the idea that's for sure, I would even consider an Optima battery if they made them for bikes

I wish Optima made batts for bikes....I've run them in my Jeeps and love 'em. Wicked high CCA...maintenance free.
