I like that it is Lithium and I'm thinking that the dual posts would make it very easy to attach a fuse block for accessories.

would be interesting to see how much longer it lasts than say a yuasa battery that normally go for me 4-5 years or so which costs around 70 bucks.  If it goes 8 years then might be worth the extra near double the price?

let us know for those who use it how long they last, but might be a few more years or longer am sure before finding out.

I'm using a BikeMaster Lithium Ion Batteries DLFP-16-BS, 270 CCAs which is higher than called for and comes with a 3 yr warranty.

excellent read, explains why a larger than normal CCA should be used esp if starting will be done in colder temps since a load (headlight/s) must be applied before starting to bring battery voltage up, and why LiFoPo4 cannot be rated like a AGM or lead battery.

the battery u are looking at is a generic brand with different labels.  u will see many with the tester on it.
