I recently installed a Deltran Lithium-Iron Phosphate battery in my bike, and I'm pretty darn happy with it. As others have said, these things are surprisingly small and lightweight, but the bike snaps to life with an eagerness I haven't seen before.
Ordered from Remy Battery in Wisconsin, the battery was about $100 bucks, along with a Lithium-specific charger for $35, and free shipping. The "Battery Tender" label at first had me wondering if this was a re-branded battery from some other mysterious source, but as far as I've learned, Deltran actually makes their own units. It's a cell-balanced, 4-terminal battery from a company I definitely trust, so I'll keep you all posted as the months go by.
Not sure why the picture isn't appearing, but a click does seem to work:

Look forward to hearing how it performs. It doesn't seem possible to display photos from Google here.

Please do keep us posted. That seems like a very good price for the battery and for the battery–specific charger as well.

Hmmm. Lithium iron batteries sound like they'd be heavier than lithium ion ones. More road-hugging weight.
