400/4 build. Paused due to other commitments. But starting up again
K2-K6:
No direct recommendation or good experience (yet, as mostly cheap type encountered) of li battery, but this may help you pinpoint something worthwhile https://www.motorcycle.com/products/lithium-motorcycle-batteries-myths-vs-realities as seems a decent overview.
ComfySofa:
Thanks. Im more than knowledgeable on that front (ive got lithiums in my Hypermotard, RSV4 factory and Z1000) and theyve all been fine....it really more a case of "these are the best ones for the 400/4" for example...people do use the anti-gravity batteries but theyre pretty expensive...ive been using JMT batteries which are really good and reasonably priced....
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Not sure of the benefits of Lithium but an AGM type battery takes some beating for low use vehicles.
Charging on Lithium might be a consideration in terms of alternator voltage.
ComfySofa:
ok - i must say the argument has been raging on the ducati forum.....ive had one in the hyper for about 4 years now with no issues....i leave it on the tender when its not being used for a while as theres a tracker in there that does drain the battery....
Matt_Harrington:
What benefits do you get from the Lithium batteries (excluding the weight advantage)?
