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.
