Been using this in my beta 250rr all summer and it ruled, no gel or liquid inside so it will not freeze, in fact alaska state troopers are using them in their sleds down to minus 70.

Hope this one is better then my Shorai lith batt. It lasted about 4 months in my bike before it gave up. The cold weather plus a Ktm 540 killed it. I think if I had just used it for summer use, it would have made it ok. I just now installed a Yuasa YTZ7S for this next season and I gave the lith batt to my friend to use on his cr500 for lights and such

Lithium batteries have a common theme ! They don't last/work ! Ive seen Shorai, Ballistic batteries that just quit. Antigravity told me some are built better than others and some cells are better than others. I talked to a major dealer that build new CR500's and they said every 3rd lithium they bring in is a dud. Why bother ?

Put a Yuasa YTZ7S in your KTM and be done with it ! Lead acid is proven, Lithium isn't !

More proven than lead acid

LEG. Kickstart. Manliness. Grow a pair and get some exercise while you're at it. Maybe I'm just jealous that Adam1979 has a magic button, or more likely I'm just cheap and kicking is cheaper than starters and batteries. Besides, my CR500 doesn't have that option. So kickstart it is. But clearly it makes me superior to all of you. Nope, cheap.

Yes it is true that not all lithiums are equal, many use gel or liquid, earthx does not and that is why it works very well in the cold. The alaska state troopers use it in their sleds in alaska...they are designed for cold, most are not...


Like the superclamp.net page on facebook and the earthx batteries page on facebook as we will be having draws soon on how to win a free earthx battery which is the best way to try it.
