Does anyone have experience with this battery in a Freewheeler?
I was given this battery, new in box, by a friend that is no longer riding. The test indicator shows a full charge. I'm looking for opinions before putting it in my wife's 2017 FW.
Thanks.

you have any 1st hand experience with one burning???
As already stated,dangerous and if you have to buy a charger to charge a Life battery,better off taking it to a recycle facility and dump it.
Why y'all saying this battery is junk? Unless youve examined it for cracks or smelling funny whats the deal? Just because its lithium? If so ya better toss out your cell phone, laptop, bluetooth headsets etc. Its my understanding that overcharging can cause them to catch fire, this battery is not even on a charger. Id install it and press the starter button- its not gonna grenade.
Take a voltage test of the battery, if it is holding 12.5-12.7 volts see if it will start
Harley has a dual mode charger that works on traditional batteries and lithium batteries, you can view it here

I have never had one of the lithium batteries, but I have also never heard anything good about them other than they are lighter than normal, and heard a good bit of "they are a POS". Take that for what it is worth
From Bobs non-technical point of view, lithium batteries can catch fire (And some have) they are extremely sensitive to high temperatures, And by using the wrong Charger or using the wrong settings on the right Charger and will degrade much faster than ordinary battery’s due to heat ..
They are highly flammable …
I had a Battery Tender Lithium Battery in my 08 Goldwing for about 5 years before I traded the trike, No fires, No Explosion, Started every time good battery, This year in Daytona I bought a Braille Lithium Battery for my Indian 600 cranking amps, Same thing No Fires, No Explosion, The bikes plugged in all the time, No problems. I dont know of anybody that has had a fire, Explosion, or any other Bullshit that you read on The Interweb, I did read on the Interweb were some kid had his cell phone in his pocket it blowed up in his pocket & burned his Penis :xzqxz::xzqxz::xzqxz::xzqxz:
