I had one a few years ago. It was great until shortly after the warranty ran out, then faded away. I don't reckon I got my money's worth and haven't bought another. Replaced it with a genuine Harley one, which gave several year's service.

 

That ion thing saves weight two ways, the bike is several pounds lighter and so is your wallet. Such a deal.

 

I have a Lithium Shorai now, not because it weighs less, but I can get it under the seat of my 1990 Glide and use later full-size saddle bags. It is only a few months old, so too early to say if it will give 5 years!

 

Man, three-and-a-half franklins for a scoot battery? It would have to last way beyond 5 years to be worth that.

 

What I know of batteries and starters is..(a generalization here).If it will turn over, cold...65 to 100 degree , It is NOT!!! the battery. If it won't turn over, warm; or hot then, it is the starter. NOW, having said that, if it won't start on an 25 degree day ....and it turns over slow then you might need to lighten up on your oil....There are many variables here!

 

I have had excellent service from Odyssey AGM batteries in my two personal watercraft. The increase in cranking amps spins the starters noticeably faster. I find it hard to believe that the one in my stand-up is 15 years old and still going strong. When they die, I will definitely get another one.

I recently bought an Odyssey for my FLHTC.


I would be happy if it lasts half as long as my PWC batteries. The only downside is that it is a little smaller than the standard battery. I had to make some spacers. I used rubber conveyor belt material.

Another thing I like about AGM batteries is that there is no need for a vent tube. They are completely sealed and I have never had any corrosion anywhere while using them.
