I've never had a battery problem so I have no plans to pay twice as much for the same benefit. Thanks for sharing, first time I seen this. |

Central New York | That's just insane. Shouldn't need to use gasoline at that price. Does anyone really think a $189. battery will start a bike any better than a $39. Wallyworld battery? Not! |

| Looks like something aimed at the racing crowd, a couple of pounds is nothing for us but a drag bike or canyon cutter could benefit. For me it would cut way too deep in my beer budget. |

, FL | I got a shori lithium battery (27 amp hr) above 18 oem rating.
Bewarned the lithiom on is much much much more sensitive to cold weather. Won't crank my vision if below 60 degrees. I did a lot of research before I paid $268 dollars but thought the cold weather beneifit of warming up the battery by running lights a few minutes would be a small price in order to have a battery that would work in the coldest of conditions. However, even with moderately cool weather the lithium Shori battery has problems. Hell I live in South Florida and this last weekend when it wouldn't start '"again" I tried warming up the battery with accessory running lights but ended up killing the battery before it would warm up enough to start the bike. This Shori battery is sensitive to cold - yes that was in the research I did but what I read did not hint that it was very very much more sensitive than the typical AGM battery. Note that I upgrade from 18ah to 27 ah but the cold factor was immensely greater than I had assumed.
I am buying another battery today. |

Gainesville Fl Home of the Gators | Another strange thing on the Balistic.......I have installed the 12 cell in a few steel frame open loop injection bikes with VERY satisfactory results. However I have a customer use one in a Vision, and it created all kinds of weird drivability issues. Unstable idle, stalling, Check Engine codes, llate instrument cluster reset, and high idle. Switched to a good old fashion factory replacement, and everything returned to normal |
