    They do have a positive, but don't forget there is a negative side to these lithium batteries as well.

    I think if you need a battery, want to try something new and can afford it. Get one. Be the first on this forum and review it after 12 months. 
    Normal Battery i’ve had for only a couple years is showing signs of slowing up despite regular riding and trickle charging.

    We are half way towards a lithium battery 
    The wife’s trickle charger does both lead acid or lithium

    Recently had to replace my 4yr old battery and was toying with the idea of going lithium, but can't understand how we're told you need a special charger to maintain them, yet you put it your bike with the original charging system?
    What am I missing here?  Went for an AGM again for $170 delivered.

    Watch the ricks video..basically you need.a lower output regulator. Only about .5 volts just so u dont boil the lithium. Them AA batteries inside cook easy.. If u think im loopie look in u you tube tesla battery.... But. Understand the fire safety risk with theese batteries they reignite [fire]  hard too put out. so check your insurance policy hhaa
