Reg Rec for Lithium Ion

[eight0]

Hi All,

What's the go to for a Lithium Ion compatible Reg Rec combo for a CB550? I know the Ricks ones seem to work but it's eye-wateringly expensive with the shipping ($165)

Rather than mod your bike, is a safer bet not simply buying a ‘drop in’ Lithium type battery, with the ‘CB agricultural charge circuitry’ built in?

I bought 3 of the below 5 or 6 years ago now for my Hondas / Guzzi, and enjoy the fit and forget aspect of ‘em, ie no trickle charging etc needed through the winters. No signs of age (yet) and feel like an empty box when you pick them up. Amazing.

If you do go this route... you cannot use a normal lead acid / gel charger to charge them off the bike (if ever needed)... you’d have to invest in the correct LiFe do-dah.

Thanks for the reply Simon.

I've gone down the cafe route with my bike so I need all the space I can get. I've ditched the whole loom and am going motogadget so I need to get a new reg rec anyway.
