Which Shorai battery for 961?

From Carrot Motorcycles.

Earlier this year my charger kept telling me my battery was over discharged and wouldn't charge, so I used the optimate for a couple of days until I had the time to work out what was up, thought I might have to put the lead acid back on. Anyways, cut a long story short it turned out that the multi-pin connector that is on the battery itself had either lost connection or had become dirty/oxidised.... a few clicks in and out of the plug, giving it a gentle wiggle, and it was back up and charging again.

Cool, thanks Martin. I'll keep an eye out for that. Battery being delivered today so hopefully have the 961 up and running by the weekend :)

Mine still works flawlessly Ben.

Surprised you’ve got the time and energy to be worrying about bike batteries at the moment !

We need to get some rides in soon...

Yep, having a new baby around certainly prohibits sleep. But not enough to skip a ride. May be up for a cruise either this weekend or next?

It sure does Ben, but good on yer for still finding / making time for yourself. It’s important. And it’s easy to let it slip.

I’m away till 2nd week in Aug, will give you a shout when I’m back.
 
Speaking of Shorai...I still use the Yuasa lead acid. Second one. I like the performance. But I'm wondering, could it be the weight of the lead acid battery the cracked the thin guage POS battery box/tank support? If so, after the repair, I'll go lighter. I know weight saving is an issue, but come on.
