I meant to say the battery charged in 5 hours on sunday night. Today i got the mmeter and checked the battery voltage...
I didnt word it correctly.

A tender will not bring a battery to a full charge once it’s been discharged. You need a charger to do that. Personally I use the NOCO Genius chargers to charge and maintain my batteries.I meant to say the battery charged in 5 hours on sunday night. Today i got the mmeter and checked the battery voltage...

I’m glad that someone has had good luck. I’m just sharing my experiences here.There is a big difference between lithium ion and lithium IRON batteries. Lithium iron are smaller, much lighter (Under 2 lbs vs 10), self-discharge at a very low rate, are not affected by the vibration of a bike, do not overheat like lithium ion, and last forever. I’ve used Shorai batteries in 3 bikes and each one lasted 10+ years. One was in a bike I rarely rode and started the bike right up after 4 months with no maintenance charging. When my R18 original battery gives up the ghost I’m putting in a Shorai.
Some info on reliability of LiFePo4 batteries:I’m glad that someone has had good luck. I’m just sharing my experiences here.
I look at it like choosing between a Toyota and Ford. Some people have good luck with their Fords but just about everyone has good luck with their Toyotas.
It’s simply comes down to the averages and Lithium batteries and at the bottom of the reliability chart right now. Hopefully it changes soon because they definitely have done advantages.
Click on the attachment in the post above to see the infoSome info on reliability of LiFePo4 batteries:
I was addressing your statement that lithium batteries are at the bottom of the reliability list. All 3 of your BOS failures on lithium ion batteries? LiFePo4 batteries do not have a high failure rate for the BOS or any other component, you must just be very unlucky.The issue is not the number of cycles or wearing out. On all three lithium batteries that failed, it was the BOS component that failed.
Yes, they were all Lithium iron batteries, one Shorei an two NOCO.I was addressing your statement that lithium batteries are at the bottom of the reliability list.

Well, at least they’re replacing it. I hope it’s only batteries you have such bad luck with, that’s some bad battery juju.
The FTR is currently in storage. But when the battery arrives I’m going to run over and install it make sure it’s not another turd.Well, at least they’re replacing it. I hope it’s only batteries you have such bad luck with, that’s some bad battery juju.
Good luck, hope it works outThe FTR is currently in storage. But when the battery arrives I’m going to run over and install it make sure it’s not another turd.
