So ...
In early April I bought and installed a MotoBatt MBTX9U. This last weekend, after sitting idle for only 4 days, I hopped on a bike that wouldn't turn over. Now, after about 20 minutes on a battery tender, it did start. But riding that day was a little unnerving. But all has been fine since (I've also kept the tender on it since then). I also carry an AntiGravity jump starter pack with me, so I'd be OK. But, it's a PIA to get to the battery on the ST1300 anyway to have to jump it roadside.
But, I ramble. Being a person with no tolerance and no patience, I am shopping for a new battery. I am torn between the original spec Yuasa and one of the new LiFePO4 batteries. Either the Battery Tender brand or AntiGravity is were I'm thinking. I just can't decide if the new types have matured enough to be trusted, and I really don't want to be in THIS beta test group.
Does anyone have enough experience with them to have a decent opinion yet??
