ShoraiLFX Lithium-iron Battery w/BMS, LFX09A2-BS12, 3.0Ah 13.2V, 39.6WHr, "A" Type, Case 2

Small, light, strong.

it was fine as long as you kept the charger on all the time with the "store" position on. But if it got unplugged, the battery would be dead shortly after if you didn't ride. And then if the voltage is too low, the charger won't charge it unless you hook up a regular charger up to it for a couple minutes first. A year later and it was shot. Picked up a regular wet cell for $50, works much better.

Longevity…..well, I can’t say for this one, or really any of the other Shorais I have because the oldest one I have is 4 years old….at least, that’s how long I’ve had it.The battery this particular Shorai replaced was a no name AGM I got on Amazon in 2013. Yep. 8 years is a relatively long life span. From what I’ve read of other’s experiences, this should last at least as long.Value for money. It isn’t much more expensive than a brand name AGM and actually less than some well established brands. Thing is, the bike this Shorai is going into has been quite kind to its batteries. I have other bikes where I’m lucky to get 2 years out of a battery so it’s relative as I already wrote.Install is fairly easy and straight forward. I used the battery that came out to figure the foam build up for the Shorai. Once done it fit snugly into its box but….I’d probably do things a bit different if I were to do it again.I also bought the extension lead which I leave permanently plugged into the battery. I run the lead out a convenient opening so I can plug my Shorai charger in when needed. I try to run the storage function when I’m not using this particular bike when I know I’m not going to ride it for a bit, and every couple of months after when I don’t.This seems to keep my other batteries in good shape….but I won’t really know until we’re 8 years in or more.

I am undecided if I made the correct decision to purchase this brand as it has a number of negative reviews as compared to some of the other brands. The main reason is the battery may not function after a rather short span of time. Some of the reviews report that there is no BMS in the battery therefore it has NO balancing of cell function when installed. The only way that the cells can be balanced is by an outboard charger with the cell balancing ability. I build off grid solar systems and ALL of those batteries - LiFePO4 - have built in BMS's on board. They have a very long life span (no. of charge/discharge cycles). So yes, I am quite concerned about the life span of this battery due to NO CELL balancing when in normal vehicle/motorcycle use.

Have it since 2017 on my 1996 XR650LPut it under the saddle and put an XR600R side coverCouldn’t be happierIt’s a great battery!

I liked the small size and light weightI did not like the very limited AH allowing the battery to be dead with very little engine cranking

Amazingly light, starts my XR650L as well as the old much heavier lead acid battery. Came with lots of foam pads to shim out the battery to fit box. Once I had all that figured out.. fix in existing battery box nicely.

When I initially installed the battery it worked fine and started my bike quickly every time. Only 3 months later, I started having trouble. It sometimes takes ten tries to get my bike started. I know that lithium batteries don't perform well when they are cold, but this one is especially terrible. My brother has a lithium in his bike and it works great.I can't return this so I'll probably just put it in my track bike, but it's pretty annoying how this thing has performed so poorly so quickly

電圧、高め始動せい、抜群最高です、ただ形が小さいのが気になると言ったところ

１個目のバッテリーを、自分の不手際で壊してしまったため、２個目の購入です。なんといっても、ウソみたいな軽さに衝撃を受けますが、性能は十分に満たしているため、灯火類はもとより、エンジンのセルスターターも軽やかに回ります。降雪地域で冬を越えてどうなるかは、今冬様子を見る必要がありますが。純正に対してサイズが小さいため、バッテリー搭載時の端子ケーブルの取り回しに少しだけ工夫と注意が必要です。

ネットで安い奴を買いましたが全く使えませんでした。そこで純正にしようかと思いましたが軽いということでこちらにしました。実際届いた箱を持ってみると「中身入ってる？」と感じるほどの軽さでした。始動性も文句なしです。小さすぎてバッテリーケースに隙間ができるので付属のスポンジで調整が必要です。

昨年発売当初に購入して、とてもよかったので、２台目のバイクにも購入しました。めちゃめちゃの軽さです。春先の始動時の使用だけ注意しておけば良さそうです。
