Replacement battery

<< < (3/3)

heliwilly:
If the battery has built-in electronics to process the output from the "Neanderthal" Honda charging system, why not use a standard 12volt battery

charger to charge it??

I've charged the Shorai Lithium on CR with ordinary battery charger (when initially setting up custom electrics and bike not started/charging) - the instructions say not to use a 'conditioning' battery charger. Since then, I've had battery on bike for 2 years with little use (of bike) and no problems - held charge over winter.

Lobo:
...yea Bill, as I sent that I too thought, “that’s a bit Irish”
My guess is a flat Lithium needs more specialised care in recovery charging than a PB type, and so the specialist charger. But, as I say, a guess... I just followed the manufacturer’s instructions, which in hindsight having read Phil’s response, I may have misinterpreted.
 (Plus not prepared to mess with Li’s given their price and propensity to catch fire if abused!)

Motobatt AGM got me. Lasting fine. Last two lead ones lasted no time.
Fitted well when I realised it had a plastic packing piece on the bottom !
