Comments
As the graph below suggests, Scorpion Stinger batteries hold a higher resting voltage than other batteries. They start higher and finish higher, meaning that during times of heavy load they have the ability to crank the starter faster and longer than the competition. For starting batteries, most of the work happens in the first 5-10 seconds. More voltage throughout that range ensures quicker starts and less strain on the starting system.
All the test batteries were fully charged and maintained for 48 hours on shop grade smart charger. Starting voltages achieved by fully charging batteries, then removing battery from any outside input for 24 hours. Each battery was tested under equal conditions at 72° F, using a true 100 AH load to simulate starting.
Scorpion does not rate their batteries with an AH rating*. Instead, they graph out the real performance of the batteries, side by side the best lead-acid and lithium batteries on the market. This gives you the confidence to know exactly how much starting power your Scorpion Stinger has, without giving a seemingly inflated number, or a confusingly low number that is not practical. *See more detailed explanation here.LiFePo4 Batteries are sensitive to heat. If the battery will be sitting directly on top of the engine and/or surrounded by the oil pan, we do NOT recommend using any Lithium Battery.
**Over-Charge protection will not protect from a faulty/old Voltage Regulator spiking Hi-Voltages to Battery. If you have a Pre-1990s Motorcycle replace your voltage regulator; it is over 30 year old and most likely broken by now. *Warranty applies ONLY to vehicles listed below. As per manufacturer, ALL other use will void battery warranty.

Reviews and Ratings
Great battery
Pros: The vendor shipped quickly, product was as described and even had spacers so it fit the application correctly.
Cons: the backer nots for the terminals fall out too easy.
it could use a remioval strap.
I am more than just a motorcycle owner. I am very familiar with the design of electric vehicles and their battery needs. I did, however, buy this battery for my motorcycle. the difference is amazing. the battery is a featherweight and it has more than twice the CCA of the stock lead acid battery. I like it so much I am thinking about a small electric vehicle based on the technology.

light
Pros: This is a very light battery, yet it has plenty of power. The installation was straight forward with no modifications needed to the connectors or cables. The plastic risers give the battery the correct height so it fits securely in the compartment.
Cons: None yet. We need to see how it lasts over the winter.
I have a similar dry cell battery in my other bike and I am very happy with the way it hold a charge while not in use.

Scorpion Stinger Battery
Pros: Shipping was super fast, I was feeling kinda scetchy about the weight because it is practically weightless compared to the OEM lead battery that came stock with the bike, I was a little worried about the size but it was perfect if not a little smaller than the stock battery and I could tell right away it made a big difference in my performance, I used the Scorpion Stinger battery in my 2010 Yamaha R1, and I recommend it to anyone wanting a weight reduction and power increase.
Cons: Local Motorcycle Shops in the area never heard of a motorcycle battery with 350+ C.C.A. (Cold Cranking Amps).
I'm recommending it to all fellow riders because this battery is awesome.

SSTZ14S-FP Scorpion Stinger LiFePo4 Extreme High Output Battery
Pros: Arrived quicklyand fully charged. Very lightweight. Perfect fit for my Honda ST1300.
Cons: Not aware of any cons at this time
Batterystuff.com makes buying a quick and easy process. Lots of information and your battery arrives in a couple of days ready to go. I would definitely recommend this merchant. I Have bought a couple of different motorcycle batteries FROM THEM over the last few years.

Great battery good deal
Pros: Great small size and very light saved me about 8 lbs from stock battery. Can be mounted in any position. Fits my Honda Shadow perfect in stock location with the use of the provided spacers. Love the built in batter test light also. I have had it about a month or so and have no complaints at all.
Cons: None
I like the fact that this type of battery doesn't need the use of a trickle charger in the off season.

Lot of power for such light weight
Pros: Well when I received box I thought no battery inside it was that light. To my surprise there was, and charged. I put into my 2005 Honda VTX1300R with minor changes to battery box.
This girl never cranked like that from day 1 and I bought brand new. I am very impressed. A month and no issues with charging or sitting.
Cons: Had to add padding to space up battery in battery box. Ruffly 2 " but nothing that anyone could not do.
Very impressed with this battery, time will tell on life and performance. I would advise at this time of spend the extra $$ for this type battery

Works great on my 2007 VFR
Pros: I saved a net of 7 lbs between my old battery and this one. Has a button to check the voltage level.
Cons: Can't really get to the button after it is installed, so not much of a point in that, unless you are trouble shooting.
Only concern is long term charging and what the actual bike puts out while running. I assume it will be fine. Not sure what to do with my old battery tender, now that I can't use it on this due to the charging voltage difference.

Light and powerful
Pros: It is light, durable, powerful. I have this battery on a CBR1100XX which I don't ride that often. At one point it was sitting there for 6 months and it started right up.
My neighbor's battery had died on his Subaru. Just for the sake of experimentation I offer him a jump from my motorcycle: again it started right up.
I am looking for a new battery for my car now since a I have a two seat I am removing weight.
I highly recommend Scorpion batteries.
Cons: The box it came in... I thought it was empty cause it was so light.
I bought it $10.00 less than the present price.

Extreme High Output Battery
Pros: Light weight and fit are great. I've had this in my 2002 Honda Silverwing for a little over a month and if it lives up to its warranty, it is the best cycle battery I've ever owned.
Cons: Cost is high but should last more than twice as long as previous batteries.
I am a retired nuclear plant operator and I enjoy newer electric technology. I hope this is a good product. Great so far!

Great Battery
Pros: Battery Stuff have excellent customer service. I got my first battery less than three day. It had a defect; it over heated and start bubbling. Call batterystuff and they had me another one two my house in three days. Beside the first one this battery is outstanding. Never had a better turn over in a battery. I have 113 ultima engine and 1.74 starter and this battery gets the job done and this is a great price for a lithium battery.
Cons: The first one had a defect
Will definitely buy another battery for this site and the same battery. Highly recommend!!

Best Battery available for you Motorcycle or ATV
Pros: Light weight, Cranking amps, Status Indicator, no special charger needed, Price
Cons: None
I've been using Scorpion Lithium batteries for several years now and I love them! I use them in all of my street and dirt bikes (Ducati 1199, BMW S1000RR, Aprilia RSV4, MV Augusta F3 800, KTM 350 sxf). I've never had a problem with any of them and regularly recommend them to friends and family. If you're keeping score, that's singles, twins, triples, V4's and IL 4's i've used this patter in. I particularly like the fact that I don't need a special charger or tender for these batteries unlike their competition. Just connected it to any charger or tender and 10 - 15mins later, the battery is ready to go.

Super light - worked well, but....
Pros: Excellent weight and CCA are ad described. Performed well in sub 0 Celsius and in heat.
Cons: After 2 years, the on board battery tester stopped working. Not a huge issue, but was handy. Still holds a charge but not as deep as it used to. This is my second battery to replace the one I bought previously. Brand new works great but did not last a full 2 years, but I didn't realize while in warranty.
I recommend this to others as its super light weight and small with tons of power. Charges quickly and well when it works. For some reason it just isn't holding a charge as long as when it was new and I've been stuck boosting my bike.

Great Battery
Pros: Fits my 2015 zx10r perfect. My bike was sitting for almost a month with this battery in there, and the bike fired right up as if it was running yesterday.
Cons: None so far.
Much more cranking amps than my other lead acid battery. Moreover, the battery has to sit on its side when installed into the zx10r and when I removed the old lead acid battery there seemed to be some leakage coming from it. With the new lithium battery I don't think I'll have that problem.

Junk and warranty not honored
Died after 3 months and starting my motorcycle 3 times. My bike calls for 300 cca and this battery has 387. They refused to honor the warranty because my bike wasn't on their list.
***Note From BatteryStuff.com***
We are sorry for your frustration, but we do make it clear on product page in three places that the warranty only applies when used in application. Custom bikes and application tend to have high compression engines which can take a toll on lithium batteries as they are only 1/3 the capacity of a lead acid battery their meant to replace. While we have seen them used successfully in custom application, we have also seen some failures. Simply put the they may offer high cranking, but their depth in terms of capacity is 1/3 of the original battery. Custom applications can start to excessively discharge the battery if the battery is under sized. This can cause the battery to fail as lithium batteries do not tolerate being excessively discharged, which is why Scorpion only recommends them in certain applications.

awesome...
So had to bug out for 4 weeks, due to corona virus crapola... the ktm 990 has a small drain due to stock anti theft system... expected to come back to a dead battery, as I would if it had been a lead acid battery... but NO! even after 4 weeks, fired up like it had been a day since last riden. not even a little slow. Very impressed.

wow....
Finally got battery to my bike in colombia.... and the weight difference is noticeable when switching from side to side in the slow tight mtn turns i ride... but the biggest changes i notice are in my accessory lighting and lower rpm smoothness. I run 4 extra led lights to help with the dark turns and those have become far more stable, less flickering.... and i am able to cruise all the way down to 2500rpm on my 1000cc vtwin ktm.. and bike doesn't buck around. KTM ecus run lean at lower rpms to conform to emissions, which makes them twitchy going on and off throttle. I put some some rottweiler O2 foolers which helped.... but i think the voltage stabilizing of this battery at lower rpms is giving stable readings to computer plus voltage regulator isn't bouncing around the demand load on stator, so everything is just smoother.... which is saying alot on a big vtwin. Big thanks for upselling me on the slightly higher price of your product. The extra amps, I'm sure, are helping!

Best Bike Battery on the Market
I've had this battery for 3 years now in my 2009 KTM 690 Enduro R. This bike comes with a pretty decent OEM battery but this one blows it out of the water. It also fit perfectly into the original spot without using the provided spacers. My bike had an unrelated injector issue which would cause very hard starting, I would have to crank the bike for long periods of time after it sat to get it to start. This eventually killed my OEM battery. I've since fixed the issue but this battery can crank for days and doesn't show signs of stopping. I also recently used it to jump someone's Toyota Camry which was also no issue. The specs and performance of this battery exceed mostly anything out there and the convenience of the onboard charge meter and service free nature of the battery and long life make it the best battery value on the market IMO.
