Can't speak to the Motobatt but I replaced my OEM battery with this one and I am very happy with it.
NOCO Lithium NLP14 500A Lithium Powersport Battery NOCO NLP-14. I put the NLP-20 in my wife's H-D Heritage Classic and I am very happy with it too.
Technoguppy , loves Lithium ion battery and supports all fire hazards that comes with it like below check govt news articles, because as per his logic lithium ion is very safe
and all incidents are isolated
and as per technoguppy logic, people should not buy rocket as their first bikes because as per his logic, all people in canada must buy 100cc, 200cc and get experience regardless of the fact if they have been riding in some other part of the world for 10+ years,
As per his logic, if not ridden on canadian roads then technoguppy label them as riders who do not care about other people lives and as per technoguppy logic those type of new riders will die and must sell the rocket and keep everyone else safe
so whats your stand on battery fires, now feel free to say that these are all *isolated incidents* and lithium ion batteries are everywhere
