My battery is a Big Boar and has done its job with the motor builds that I have done it's 5 years old and is dead as a nail the highest CCA battery that I can find is a 310 CCA - 18 AH does anyone now of a 315 CCA that will fit or bikes I'm kicking her up to a 110 and looking for a little more poop

deadlion put the ballistic lithium battery in his. kicks with over 400cca. thats enough poop for a bulldozer

12 cell is 410cca and the 16cell is 500cca http://www.ballisticparts.com/products/batteries/batteries.php

Lithoum Ion Batteries have been pulled from the Cessna Citation CJ4 because of "reliability Issues" (read Burned the ass off a 13 million dollar aircraft) and the Chevy Volt is having issues with them as well.

If you have that much money in your machine, I would think that proven safe and reliable technology would prevail over absolute output.

I'd hate to see someone's bike burn down. Have you looked into Optima? I have not heard of anyone using the powersport batteries, except the Marine deep cycle type, which are popular with bass tourney fisherman.

Good luck, and keep that beast under control!

Might look into these.

Hey Martin have you used these guys before....my battery kicked off before I could run the stabil into the carb lol ...310cca and you are using the stock cable from the batt to the starter and the ground?? We are having a spring like winter here and I could still be riding Coug

I was going to use them but got a good deal on a Yuasa 310 cca. A friend of mine put one on his GoldWing and is happy with it. When I need another one I'm going to put one on mine.

Glad to see you on here.

Martin

My favorites are the #2 the Deka & #3 the Thunderstart batteries though the 310 cca maint free batt only $64 in #1 slot peaks my interest too. The seller of the #1/$64 310cca batt told me it was AGM maint free battery tech,it inc an acid pack to activate yourself.

1) On a budget,then here's a 310cca maint free batt for $64 inc S&H.

Hey Scott only 2 of the links work and I wanna see that thunderstart batt

BubbaKahuna Will sell you the Ballistic, 410cca for $165 to your door.The 16 cell will not fit our battery box.
Ballistic and Shoria claim 2 to 4 times the life of a lead acid.On the other side,they haven't been around long enough to prove this.If they do last twice as long that cuts the cost to 85 bucks for a battery that has 410cca.
