Re: Lead acid should die

Well, I have a Shorai lithium iron phosphate battery in my 14 year old FJR-1300.

It's got far better storage characteristics, and has no problem sitting 3 weeks. The only slight downside is that it doesn't like the cold. So if it's cold, it sometimes takes 2 tries to start.

You didn't mention it's a lot lighter. It feels like an empty battery case.
