Failed lithium battery
Unfortunately after 18 months and 27,000 km's of faithful service my SSB Powersport lithium battery has decided to drop a cell and only hold 10.2V... buggar !
I weighed all the pro's and con's and felt confident it would do the job. Even got a trickle charger built for lithium's. What I think killed it in the end was the bike alarm which needs a constant current and which is what these type of batteries don't like. SSB 360CCA LFP20CH-BS Ultralite was the model. Cranked like a demon up to the end. And to stick the knife in a little further... they are aussie made...damn ! This is not a mud sling at the company as each biker has a different setup...mine just wasn't ideal for it. I have a four post motobatt agm sitting in its place waiting to be hooked up :) Cheers, Pete. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I use a regular good old Yuasa battery.
Last 5 years and then I replace it just because.

I'm on my 6th year with my Deltran Lithium battery.
The fact that yours failed so soon say it may have been a defect. They should replace it. Summit racing has the Deltran 480 cca for 209.00

Jllm with your Deltran do you have any parasitic draw, like an alarm or something else that needs power while the bikes sitting ? The $$$ is attractive, especially for the 480 cca. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I’ve let it set for 3 weeks and it starts right up. I do have a Deltran maintainer but I’ve never used. When I turn my key on my volt meter says 13.1.
