The lead-acid replacement battery has an instantaneous discharge current with excellent starting power,
What you need to know about Lithium Motorcycle batteries before you buy one.
What are the advantages of Lithium batteries?
Extremely light weight! For example a typical 16 amp/hour battery weighs 5kg. A replacement Ultrabatt Lithium battery weighs an amazing 860 grams complete with the built in Battery Management System.
Very high cranking power relative to size and weight.
Very low self-discharge rate (about 3% every month).
Very small size.
No internal liquids or acids that can spill - can be mounted in any orientation.
Unlike lead acid batteries LiFePO4 lithiium batteries do not produce explosive gasses like hydrogen when charging or discharging.
Very fast charging times typically a discharged battery can be fully recharged in 1-2 hours. By comparison a discharged lead acid battery will take over 12 hours to charge to full capacity.
Vastly superior reliability and a very long service life compared to lead acid batteries. Target life for lithium motorcycle battery (With a built in BMS) is ten years!
Lower per year cost of ownership than legacy lead acid batteries.
