Interesting.
I reckon Flynrider retro-fitted a LiON charger module with the battery? Or is the battery "smart" and comes with that electronics integrated into the battery?
Not exactly sure what that is, GO. Are you talking about something that's installed on the bike with the battery? As far as I know, nothing like that is required. The CB1100's charging system specs meet the battery's requirements.
If you're talking about an external trickle or float charger, I don't use 'em. I ride the CB several times a week, year round, so I've never had a need for one.
Edit: I know that the battery has some smarts integrated. Comes with a button on top that shows state of charge, and it also has a cutoff circuit to prevent a deep discharge, which I inadvertently testing by leaving the ignition on overnight. Not sure what other "smarts" are integrated.

Hey Flynrider: Sounds like you answered my question in regards to battery internal circuitry. Good to know, and thanks.
