I am going to do away with the stock battery box/air cleaner unit and relocate the batter under the seat. I have found a lithium battery that will fit in the area that I want to place it, however it only creates 120 cold cranking amps. Will this be sufficient to start the bike? I don't plan to ride the bike if temps are below 50 degrees F.
the yb14 is 1.4 cranking amps (cold),just make sure you calculate the math for (mAh),my mate is building a bobber with a lithium battery pack he calculated he needs 3 small battery;s @ total 4000 mAh so he needs 9 battery;s total.its a suzuki bandit 600 engine tho (yb9),hope that helps,jim (it would be easier to modify the subframe for a battery),forgot to add he has put something in these packs because lithium ion takes a different charge than standard charge up,so watch what your doing if going that route,ta jim
Sorry Scottishjim, but you don't even know what you are talking about. The stock Yuasa YTX14-BS has 12Ah (not 14) which is the capacity not the maximum cranking amps. The cold cranking amps of the stock battery is about 180-200 Ampere, so no 120 won't really be enough I guess.
