Just saw an Amazon notification that these Noco lithium batteries are on sale. I know they've been making jumper packs for a long time thats how I know the brand name at least.
Limited-time deal: NOCO Lithium NLP14, Group 14, 500A LiFePO4 Motorcycle Battery, 12V 4Ah ATV, UTV, Jet Ski, 4 Wheeler, Quad, Riding Lawn Mower, Tractor, Scooter, PWC, Seadoo, Polaris and Generator Battery

My current battery on my 2014 is still the factory battery and seems to be going strong but I know I'm probably pushing it on how old it is. Its been sitting on a trickle charger for the last 3 years of my injury anyways other than having friends take it out to keep the fluids and rubbers going. Not sure if that is contributing to its long life so far?

If you go this route mvk24, be sure to plan what you are going to do with the extra new found space where the OEM battery once parked.

O yes these Lithiums are smaller right? In the pictures it has multiple plastic shells you can put on the bottom to make it the same size as whatever standard battery i guess to the factory straps will hold it down... but I wouldn't mind having some extra space under the seat

When I used to commute daily - the stock Yuasa had no issues. Once the pandemic hit, and I was hardly riding, the Yuasa degraded quite quickly.
Since then, I only ride on weekends. Kept the stock Yuasa going for almost 2 yrs after I brought it back to life. But had to keep it on a tender and I also used to carry a portable jump starter with me (never had to use the jump starter).
Have not kept the NOCO on a tender yet. But I did get their smallest portable starter and their GBC007 cable so that if needed it can be jump started through the pigtail.

Tell us more about this set up please
The great thing about the CB1100 is it can be easily bump started if needed in a pinch.

Your original batter is still good? Wow! I'm on my third battery for my 2014. After the fist batter failed after 3 years I bought a Battery Tender, and the second battery lasted 5 years.

Yea no issues at all but I feel like it can't go that much longer after this long
