Well all I get is.... ECSHOP info: Can't Connect MySQL Server(localhost:3306)! Not exactly a Virus ???
Posting here as it seems the best place to put the info I struggled with how to get a GS911 hooked up on a Terra and then still be able to put the seat back on to be able to ride it and collect real time data, I dont recommend to anyone what we had to do to achieve it, if anyone buys a GS911 clear some space with a physically smaller battery The under seat area is diabolical with a lack of space. Along the way the owner and I discovered the large battery fitted stock is touching the bottom of the seat as well and wearing into it. It seems clear the bike was really designed for the smaller battery shown in an earlier post in this thread. The diagnostics socket also comes pretty much into contact with the bottom of the seat. Anyway to cut a long story short it frustrated me to the point I looked at lithium battery alternatives as they clear up some space under the seat My conclusion is that of the known robust Lithium batteries (EarthX and AntiGravity) that the AntiGravity AG1201 is the pick of the bunch, it is a compromise between improved capacity and physical size. The EarthX is not as tall so clears some space at the top but the AntiGravity AG1201 clears some space at both the top and at the side where the GS911 (or other items) could sit AG1201 (12-cell), 12ah PbEq, CCA 360 A, weight 1.0 kgs, 115Lx82Wx108H mm
My bike came with an aftermarket unit Motobatt MBTX12U. No rubbing, no spare space either. 12AH, 220 CCA. Google for motobatt_crossreference.pdf for equivalents.
An update to this..... About 15 months ago the YTX-14BS battery in my Nuda 900R failed in a similar manner to my original TR650 unit. Looking at the specs of the different batteries and living in a warm climate where temperatures rarely fall below 25c I decided that I do not need the high Cold Cranking Amps CCA as specified in the stock batteries. Therefore I 'stole' the YTX-12BS that I had previously fitted to the TR650 and put it into the Nuda and purchased an even smaller YTX-9BS for the TR650. Both have been working perfectly well and I still have space in my TR650 battery compartment. Here are the relevant Yuasa battery specs - http://www.yuasabatteries.com/pdfs/Yuasa_Specs_Apps_2015.pdf
Looking for any guidance or recommendations on Lithium battery. Based on your experience with your TR.
I'm running a Bikaster currently and it seems fine. Early on in ownership I tried a ballistic and that was garbage and they would not honor their warranty. Earth X is highly recommended and probably the best and most reliable lithium on the market, but you will pay for that, over $200. Getting a charge. There is some shipping regulation that these cannot ship with a full charge. So don't be surprised if that happens to your new battery.
Recently learnt the cheaper lithium batteries are often let down by their BMS and not the lithium component. (Battery Management Sys) Dave I noticed the welding rod, that is a battery charger connected right
Mag, I had the same bad luck with Ballistic. Total waste of time and money. I hope the bikemaster treats you good.
Greatly appreciate the feedback. Earth X little pricey . I'm guessing the Bikemaster more within reasonable price range. I did talk to Battery Tender. They have a new Lithium coming with over charge protection. And a few other hoodads and wotnots. But not till late july. And maybe also pricey. Also hear good things about Antigravity. How long have you run the Bikemaster? Anything worthy of not, likes/dislikes?
I got this battery for less than $100 delivered off ebay. I liked it and bought another, and my friend with a Strada bought one also. Seller is out. I have had it about 2 months now I guess, bike cranks a bit easier and starts better. Fits well. If this hadn't come along, I wouldn't have paid the list price of $169, I would have ponied the extra money for the earth x. If you are thinking of the antigravity, just spend a little more and get the top shelf one with the good warranty.
Lithium-Ion (LI-IO) and Lithium Polymer (LI-PO) are both quite volatile chemical combinations especially when at a full charge. This is why they are not allowed to be shipped by air, and any lithium batteries you carry onto a plane are required to be carried in hand luggage and not in the cargo hold. They are more stable at 40%-50% charge and it's most likely any li-io or li-po batteries you buy larger than a torch battery will be shipped at half charge or less for that reason.
Im not sure why I'm bringing this up, but my TR650 still has the original battery that came with it when I bought the bike in 2013. Anyone else?
Mine chewed through a couple in short order. There's a significant drain on the system at rest. Heated grips, handlebar power outlet? Never had a bike before that had to be on a float charge all the time.
Mine as well. Changed the battery on my wife's bike once in 100.000km and that was due to issues in the wiring harness.
Had my Shorai battery in a G450X since 2012 still works perfect and only gets ridden occasionally. I only attach it to a battery maintainer for a few days at a time once every couple of months. I have a Tusk Racing Lithium battery in my '15 FE 501 Husky that I got from Rocky Mountain which was much more reasonably priced than most all other Lithium battery brands and it has worked fine for the past 4+ years. It very seldom gets ridden as well and I have hardly ever hooked it up to the battery maintainer at all. Since I bought a side by side because of health issues and taking blood thinners, it sits for months at a time. It fires right up and it hasn't been taken out since mid Feb of 2019. since I've had those aforementioned health issues. I have only ridden the 2 dirt bikes around the block a few times since the start of 2019. They both fire up anytime.
I’m still on original BMW battery and my bike sits for months with occasional starts or charging Still holds its charge for weeks after a long ride.
