In another few weeks my battery will have survived 4 years of regular use here in the desert. I've never had a lead/acid battery go longer than three. The main advantage (for me, and other desert dwellers) is that the LI battery doesn't suffer the short life typical of lead/acid batteries in extreme heat.
I just wish I could get one for my truck and my plane.
OT Would love to see a pic of your plane
On Topic; I have LiIon batteries in two of my Kawa’s since three or four years.
Best thing of it is that they don’t have the problem of loosing acid while warm temperatures and while charging. Also think about when acid level is low and Bike is on the side stand. Then parts of the Anodes (cathodes?) get dry. Also if one put the bike in winter storage you’ll never have the issue of refilling the cells.
AND no rust around the battery compartment.
When the lead battery of my GPX will get weak I also replace it by a
LiIon

With an AGM batterie you do not have the problems you mention.(03-13-2019, 06:59 PM)MaFiHa_imp Wrote:(03-13-2019, 02:57 PM)Flynrider_imp Wrote: I'm quite happy with my LI battery. See the thread Cormanus posted above.
