Lithion-Ion Battery Use

[ash13brook]

I have a 72 XS2 with Pamco ignition and the PMA from Mike's XS.
Any reason I couldn't use this battery?

Pricey, but I've heard they're worth the money and it's the only one I've found that fits my battery box.

Thanks,
Matt

i bought a Mighty Max generic SLA battery on ebay the other week for 28 bucks shipped. YTZ10S 8.6AH and rated 190CCA. sometimes the cheapo batteries are crap but this one is fantastic thus far. arrived quickly with 12.74v and lots of cranking power. will also fit your box i believe. should be fine, even more so if you kick start.

Be aware that this is a Lithium-Iron battery, not Lithium-Ion. They both have advantages and disadvantages. One nice thing about Lithium-Iron batteries is that they can hold a charge of up to a year.

Barncat-
Can you tell me the width of your battery? The dimensions listed don't really specify. I can't go any wider than 3 3/16 or the battery rests on my fender by only one bottom edge of the battery.
I DIDN'T know it was Lithion Iron. It's really expensive. I think I'd rather buy a new cheap one every year.
Thanks all,
Matt
