Replacement battery

(1/3) > >>

Hi
Maybe a stupid question,but is a lithium battery (such as YTX9-BS EXIDE LI-ION LITHIUM MOTORBIKE BATTERY 12V ELTX9) a suitable replacement for the 400/4 ?
Thanks

hairygit:
In a word, NO, because the Honda charging system is too crude for what a Lithium battery needs in charging current.

ted_paper:
Thanks for that.I wanted to make sure before I bought.
Stay safe All

I’ve been very happy with Motobatt AGM batteries on my 350 and 400 and also have them on my CBF600 and GL 1500 and they don’t need quite as much maintenance as conventional lead acid type.  That’s not to say you can neglect them though!  The longest life I had was just over 8 years but never less than 4 so far.

The down side on a 400 is that you can see the bright yellow case grinning at you but easily resolved with a half cover in black.
