Overview

The Shorai LFM36A3-BS12 is a 12v 540 CCA LiFePO4 Powersports battery. This Lithium Iron Phosphate features a lightweight design while producing a high CCA. The battery weighs only 4.63 pounds and offers an incredible 540 C.C.A. This battery is meant to replace the lead-acid battery and will require no change to your stock charging system.

The Shorai LFM series batteries feature the new Shorai Sentry BMS that prevents the batteries from being excessively discharged. The BMS monitors the battery voltage, and should it fall too low, the battery will disconnect the terminals to prevent excessive discharge that can damage the battery.

Shorai LFM batteries contain Shorai-proprietary eXtreme-Rate Lithium Iron prismatic cells (chemistry LiFePO4). They contain no poisonous lead or acid and do not create gases during charge, as traditional Lead-Acid batteries do. Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries are extremely light, have much lower self-discharge, do not sulfate, and are environmentally friendly.

When it comes to Powersports applications and lithium batteries, BatteryStuff.com recommends that you use the best, most powerful version that will properly fit your application. Shorai may list several battery sizes in their application chart that will fit your bike, but in our opinion the small gains in weight are typically offset by the superior starting power offered in the upgraded versions.

Should you not require the most powerful version, see the LFX27A3-BS12 for the less potent lithium alternative for this battery. It will be the exact same dimensions and terminal location as our recommended battery, but with a bit less capacity.

Lead acid batteries have long been a target for riders who want to take weight off their motorcycle. With Shorai Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, it is now possible to do away with the heavier lead acid battery while maintaining reliable starting power. These replacement batteries require no charging system modifications and only weigh a fraction of the OEM battery.

*BatteryStuff understands the importance of getting a replacement battery right away and usually ships all batteries the same day as ordered if received before 1:30pm (Pacific).
