Admittedly I only skimmed it, but I am not sure its listed. Lithium batteries have no plates, if you could open one up you would see circuit boards and transistor looking things, that's why they weigh nothing...there is very little inside them. As before, THE key component for safety is what is literally known as the 'safety strip'. This prevents the lithium battery from overcharging and going Nova. If you have one of the cheap lithiums as I mentioned, you are courting disaster. The good ones with overcharge protection, are safer than the proverbial houses Motorcycle batteries are actually Lithium Iron Phospate to give their correct name LiFePO4 by symbol If you get bored, read this page. Its not ALL on there, but it is lesson 1 It scratches the surface https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/safety_concerns_with_li_ion and https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/types_of_lithium_ion
It was just such a Shido battery that was pictured in the forum a few days ago: burnt out and lucky it stopped at the battery and the fire was put out
So apart from the weight saving and the ability to preheat your garage What are the benefits of lithium batteries
https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/hey-help-needed.81531/ I have heard of around half a dozen Shido’s doing similar too
As far as i have experienced, ok they are light but the thing i like is they hardly lose charge, i use JMT lithium batteries that i have got on ebay, like i said the one on my 900ie has been on there for over four years now without issue, i left it for about four months(2016 drunk cunt hit me head on while on my c90 coming home from work) and checked the charge(there is a button that lights up three lights) full charge choke out pushed button she fired up straight away. So that to me is a benefit but still a bit concerned about the one i have put in my 996 although all fine so far but like i said i will go back to yuasa maintenance free job.
It’s easy to fit the shingden rr20 regulator to the 996 with a triumph adapter lead They are supposed to be fine with lithium battery
fwiw, I've had the same Lithium battery on my Street Triple for 5 years, and it's been fine, and a great weight saving. My 959 Corse also comes with a Lithium battery as standard fitting too. My understanding is the current generation of Lithium batteries for this purpose come with some sort of 'smart' protection to prevent issues.
Yes i have heard that, do you have a link or anything else to show how it's done and what Triumph adapter lead is needed? I think this is a Minefield yet again.
So for what you benefitting - don’t bother and if your leaving the bike disconnect the battery. Don’t see the point in spending a fortune converting and additional cost of battery. Just fit the one the bikes designed to take. Unless your Rossi the weight saving for riding on the road won’t make much difference. Or your riding on the road like a complete loon.
Yes agree on my 996 but the 900ie is staying, like i said no issues. I ain't as tall as Rossi but i am a skinny fucker!!
Triumph Harness T2500676 Best widely available MOSFET Shunt R/R on the market today is the Shindengen FH012AA (and superceded by the FH020AA) used on the late (06+) Yamaha FJR, 07+ Yamaha R1 among others basically plug n play I made a new bracket instead of cutting up the original
Would that be the ones who build, from scratch, race engines for Ducati’s all over the world, and develop their own stuff with local engineers? Or the other end of the a31 where they strip and build engines for blue printing and one has been building his own motors fr 20 years? Yep, they know fuck all
Probably, they are the same ones that cannot diagnose a duff quick shifter on a Monster 821 and keep the bike for 2 weeks while they contact Ducati HQ to ask what the problem might be. The same ones that cannot sort out a rear brake on the same Monster despite having it in for bleeding so many times over two years from new. The bike still has no rear brake if it stands for more than 3 weeks. Just my experience.
