Lithium battery

[rick danger]

Well, found this thread in a search. I put a lithium in both my KTM's and have had good luck with them. I'm just considering this because my ATV needs a battery, and the rocket's stock one can go in. So I'm considering this one. Antigravity XPS V-12 Lithium Battery - Left Side Negative Terminal This place is the best price I've found. Lots more in other places

Considering next time to replace the Battery to Lithium. Any thoughts?

Swapped to a LiPo battery and after initial good performance I noticed it performing like there was a parasitic leak. After much testing I was unable to located any drain. After leaving on tender and measuring voltages I noticed it would allow 2 or three starts in quick succession but no more. Also I was informed to leave the bike on for 30 secs before attempting a start. Nothing seemed to work. Checking the model battery online I noticed the R3R recommended version hand be upgraded 3 times in quick succession each increasing CCA. Discussion with the local bike shop I was advised that they had very little success with large capacity bikes and Lithium batteries. I then purchased a lead acid and all the issues disappeared. It will now sit for up to week not on a tender and start multiple timed in quick succession. The lipo is now serving in smaller stuff at home and working
fine. Maybe if a list is made of known batteries that work well as the LiPo s are expensive to blindly try.

7yrs on my Anti-Gravity, stock regulator. Never a problem, ive had it turn off one winter being in storage, but two weeks later it turned back on and charged as usual, It cuts off at a set voltage to save from discharge. High compression no problem, 900cca on my anti gravity hd. 7yrs and going strong, worth every penny to me, just knowing its gonna start! I can leave my key on and run the stereo 20 minutes and not worry about it starting. I do have led jw speaker headlight and led bulbs in rear light.

You must have more room on the first gen. Rocket. I just measured mine and the ATX 12 is as big as I can go. The 20 is 6.9 inches wide. The other dimensions are there same though. Shame. looks like they put a fuse block or something there on the new ones. The 20 is only a couple of bucks more too.
