Other than being obscenely expensive this battery looks promising.  Lithium batteries are probably the wave of the future although Lithium is a highly reactive, but lighter than water, metal.  Anybody recall when the US Navy had an explosion, at the Groton submarine base sometime in the '70s I think, while changing out a Li battery pack?  Anybody have experience with this battery?

Here is the direct replacement for the higher output YTX14H-BS:

Those are some pretty expensive batteries, not worth the cost IMO.

Check these out:

Considering the original Yuasa battery went 9 years, I bought another Yuasa.  3 years on it so far and strong as new.

My Yuasa just crapped out and it was only 4 years old.  I am just going to get a cheap one and put it in.  I found a high output one on ebay for only $49 with the shipping.
