Motorcycle Lithium Ion Battery HJT12B-FPZ-S (YT12B-BS YT14B-BS YB16AL-A2)
Thinking about one of these, anybody used one? It says you can lose 5kg!

 

[Max Kool]

" up to 5 kg "

What's the weight of the stock battery? This one weighs 1.3kg's....

Motorcycle JMT Lithium Ion Battery YT12B-FP
This one weighs less than 1kg, not sure of the std weight but probably 3kg as it says they tend to be a third of the std one.

Research well before buying, Armo. From what I've read, it's extremely easy to get screwed on Lithium batteries. All about it here, Cy is the battery Guru :

Good Luck!

I bought one for my KTM 500 EXC and I love it. Will definitely get one for the scrambler when the stock battery dies.

 

[rider]

Yes.

Anyone ever tried one of these two? they are suppose to be the lightest:

Antigravity Small Case 4-Cell 120CA Lithium Ion Battery - RevZilla

Antigravity Small Case XPS SC-1 180CA Lithium Ion Battery - RevZilla

I put a Shorai lithium battery (Revzilla) in my KTM 300XCW. It does require a little different approach to maintenance than standard batteries. I'd suggest buying the correct charger/balancer if you are going the lithium route. Its amazing how light they are compared to lead acid types.

So is it worth it? Not for the weight savings on a street bike IMO.

I run a Antigravity Small Case XPS SC-1 in my Enduro Bike.

Its amazing and super Small. I was able to hide it under the seat.

Be sure to read about maintenece on the LI-ON batteries/ charging etc..

Revzilla mentions this battery as "Not recommended for daily driver bikes" , why?
