First one melted...customer service was excellent and sent me out a new one but then I developed issues that went away when I switched back to a lead acid battery. Too bad because I really wanted to love this battery.

I believe, I could be wrong. Sujyz is running these on her M695 I believe.Title: Re: Found a good deal on LifePO4 (A123) batteries Post by: greenohawk69 on August 14, 2013, 08:24:04 AM I've been advised to stay away from Chinese-made batteries and stick with US-made ones. Bought two batteries from Batteries +...one for the Ducati (lasted 6 months) and one for the Harley, lasted 1 year, and stranded me 225+ miles from home in BFE. Since then, no problems with the US-made batteries and there no previous charging issues as nothing was changed subsequent to the charging system - only new item was the battery.

My chinese made AGM battery on my SS is going on it's 4th year. If it dies, I can buy two more before it equals the cost of the Yuasa version. I've had roadside issues before too, that's what AAA is for.. :-) Title: Re: Found a good deal on LifePO4 (A123) batteries Post by: jcmjrt on August 14, 2013, 10:44:49 AM Your mileage may vary.

Predators are always waiting for easier game...and that is something I don't intend to be. After some research, I put a new Anti-Gravity battery in my Victory and it's working great so far...but it has only been a few months...
