Hi Folks im looking into battery options for my CB 750 i want to mount it under my cafe racer seat along with my electrics !!!
I dont have electric start just kick only ???

Ive not got a lot of space left so i was thinking about the lithium route as they are alot smaller,

Just wondering if any of you guys run with one and what are the pros and cons of using one ??

Regards

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

I've used a 'Carrot' LIFEPo battery in my CB750K2, ...a drop-in replacement. Early days yet, no problems that I've encountered and so far very impressed (and likely I may go this route with the 400F later). My problem tho' different to yours, my bikes go a long time with no 'visits' from me, and so I needed a battery that can go ages and suffer no discharge.

The weight is just bloody amazing, its about as heavy as a conventional case with no internals.

What doesn't impress is the price...at > £100.

A few differences with the way they charge (eg NO trickle charging) - but all in the info guff.

Aw...live dangerously why don't ya!

If your groin feels nice'n'warm, accompanied by the burning smell of flesh simply pull over, dismount...  and pour a bag of ice-cubes down your pants. (free ice-tray comes with every purchase).  Though realistically  guys, who on this '70's Hondas' forum is still interested in reproducing anyways!!

Or, go the Boeing route & encase the battety in a 3/4" titanium box... which should leave you enough room for an "AA" or two...
