Product InformationStore Part Number: LFX18A1-BS12
Overview
Replaces: YTX16-BS, YT16B, YTX16-BS-1
The Lithium Iron Phosphate battery is the ultimate in weight versus power technology. This battery weighs in at only 2.12 pounds and offers an incredible 270 C.C.A. This is a drop in replacement for your Lead-acid battery, and will require no change to your stock charging system.
Shorai LFX batteries contain Shorai-proprietary eXtreme-Rate Lithium Iron prismatic cells (chemistry LiFePO4). They contain no poisonous lead, no acid, and do not create gasses during charge, as traditional Lead-Acid batteries do. Compared to lead-acid, Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are also 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 she superior starting power offered in the upgraded versions. Should you not require the most powerful version, see the LFX14A1-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 with riders who want to take weight off of their motorcycle. With our Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, it is now possible to do away with the heavier lead acid battery, while maintaining reliable starting power. These are true drop in replacement batteries that will 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), however USPS does not guarantee delivery times with priority mail.

Reviews and Ratings
I have been commuting every day with it since 2 month (only)... Rain or Shine. I do not stop riding in NYC winter. So it's not exactly a "just bought" review, but quite almost. I bought the Shorai charger to monitor properly the battery = smooth and automatized, plug and forget. Did it once only since initial charge.
I don't have too many farkles (GPS, Volt/amp/temp meter, Gipro gear indicator) but I do manually switch all off overnight. I will stop doing it and see if it produces any longer time effects.
Next question is how this battery will sustain New York city winter, with the motorcycle sleeping (well covered) outside in the street? I do ride when in the 20F and not snowing.
Ride far and back home safely!
