markfoggy Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 @Jpich85 not complicated Do not buy Lead/Acid/Gel Buy Li/Ion If you want small buy Shorai. Or research how they are made. People that sell Batteries make plastic boxes nowadays. There are some bits inside, not any though. Quote

Paulm Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I used to use a R1 battery in seat hump on my Slingy, Gel battery, just in the process of upgrading to a Lithium Ion one at the moment for my turbo ET,our good friend Richard Hocking @gsxr884sells Lithium Ion batteries so could be worth messaging him about one. 1 Quote
Madb Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Battery chargers, Either get a proper one for lithium or a standard one with four amp output. lithium don't like the voltage dropping below 12volt. If you try to use one of them smart top up trckle types like oxford make it will break the charger and yer battery. You have been warned. Or as @paul has said ask @gsxr884. 3 Quote
gsxr884 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I do a charger that has modes on it for doing 6 or 12v lead acid, gel Li ion for £40 plus post , RRP is £45 2 Quote
