Although, it's rated slightly lower at 210 CCA, it's a mighty little battery. Cranks the bike no hesitation whatsoever, everytime.
Hi E11,
Can you post a picture viewed from the front and not from top- the Shorai in front of the Yuasa.
I just notice that the terminal polarity are reversed. Was the cable long enough?
I will have to replace mine soon.
Thanks
Apologies for the long overdue response on this one, but not as active on here these days.
The original ground terminal orientation certainly was a challenge installing the Shorai. Luckily for me I built an all-custom tray/fender so I was able to make it all work, but I feel I might dig in there at some point and install a slightly longer ground cable. Hasn't been a problem in 5+ years though.
I hope I'm not jinxing myself here, but the Shorai has been awesome battery- very reliable with zero issues to report. Would recommend 10/10 despite of price increases since I purchased mine during the pandemic.
Well worthy upgrade/replacement if you can manage the potential terminal modifications.
