OR Simple-Click Checkout
Lithium Batteries are discharged to 30% of capacity for shipping requirements. When you receive the battery it will need to be charged prior to use. This is the battery charger we recommend for this battery: OptiMATE Lithium TM-471.
Product InformationStore Part Number: SST51913
Overview
The new Scorpion Stinger Lithium Iron Phosphate battery offers an increased performance over traditional lead-acid chemistry batteries, while also shaving an incredible amount of weight off the battery. These Scorpion Stingers will crank your bike, atv or scooter easily, while also weighing up to 60% less than the OEM lead acid.
Scorpion Batteries are made by one of the largest battery manufacturers in the world and uses their prominence and experience to create the best products possible at the least possible cost.
Scorpion Battery was founded on the principle that superior quality batteries can be brought to the market at an economically pleasing price. Keeping true to that principle, Scorpion is proud to now offer the finest LiFePo4 Lithium powersports batteries available anywhere.
Scorpion Stinger lithium powersports batteries bring innovation to a new level. All Scorpion Stinger batteries use only the finest prismatic lithium cells, meaning that you get stronger starts, and more cycles than our competitors. Each battery contains its own Battery Management System built right into the battery ensuring that the internal cells stay balanced.
Features an onboard charge level display with the push of a button! The Scorpion Stinger Lithium Powersports batteries are simply the best lithium battery out there, and to top it off, they are offered at the best MSRP of most major Lithium LiFepo4 or Lithium Ion battery. For use in motorcycle, ATV, scooter, or UTV (side by side) starting applications.
BatteryStuff understands the importance of getting a replacement battery right away. We usually ships all batteries the same day as ordered if received before 1:30pm (Pacific).

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
***Note From BatteryStuff***
Customer was only able to provide proof of purchase for one battery from BatteryStuff.com, however customer sent two batteries in for warranty testing. Both batteries received for warranty were at an excessive discharged state showing lack of maintenance charging, which can affect the life of a lithium battery. Batteries received at an excessive discharge state are ineligible for warranty, as warranty only covers manufacturer defect. As an exception we issued a pro-rated warranty to store credit for the one we had proof of purchase for as it was purchased over two years ago. Customer was advised the importance of maintenance charging as lithium's are only 1/3 the capacity of the original battery. Customer ended up using store credit to repurchase the same lithium.
