Replacement battery

<< < (2/3) > >>

neat street:
Motobatt on my 750, so far so good, does not need the same maintenance as others and seems to hold charge longer

philward:
Motobat on my 750 and ZZR1100 - maintains charge after long periods of none use. I also run a Shorai Lithium battery or the CR750 reprica but that has a Electrex slimline alternator and associated regulator/etc and had no probrem (but no electric start on CR)

mike the bike:
+1 on the Motobatt

ted_paper:
Thanks guys.
Looks like motobatt gets the vote  :)

Lobo:
Ted, I run Shorai LiFes in my CB750K2, CB400F & modern Moto Guzzi. They’re all 5 yrs old, and whilst expensive, have been absolutely maintenance free. (There is no winter discharge etc). They weigh what a normal ‘empty’ casing would (honestly) and can be mounted any way up.

I fully expect at least 2x conventional battery life.

The crux is that they have built in electronics to cater for Neanderthal charging systems of the old bikes. Ie ya hook ‘em straight up to your CB as you would any other battery.

Bottom line, ask the supplier if you’re keen.... the guys at Carrot Batteries where I bought mine from were superb.

(A further drawback to the initial purchase cost might be the necessity of a dedicated Lithium battery charger... should you inadvertently flatten it - something to consider.)
