Lithium not silly at all. I was sold as soon as I lifted it off the counter, much lighter than lead.
That's cool. you like it, that's the important part. Your wallet was lighter also, at that point.
Give a feedback report on it's life cycle after
3 more years, or 5 years after initial install.
I'm never overly concerned with trimming weight off my bike, I guess If I was, I'd physically loose 20 lbs off my body..bt/dt, many times.
I wouldn't pay 2x $ for a battery based on its saving me 5 lbs on my bike. I guess that's why I don't drink "Lite Beer"..
joke, so smile, . Not making fun of you. Not trying to incite. Whatever works while it works, is great. When they go Teetzup in BFE we all end up mumbling and spending money, no matter which battery we buy.
when I make commentary about Lithium Polymer batteries, I'm not making stuff up, I was on the "cutting edge" of development on modern Li batt invention, and technology, and have some patents(just one below as an example) to back my knowledge up.. I did a lot of testing, and development, and KNOW how they work, how they fail, and how they "ignite"... one of my most entertaining Engineering positions of my life. see below...
Ride safe.
