Updated Reviews Requested - "New" Harley Lithium LiFe 8Ah Battery
Hi All-
I'm looking for some updated reviews, positive or negative (pun intended :laugh on the "new" Harley Lithium LiFe 8Ah battery. From what I've uncovered searching the forum, most all reviews are related to the "older version" (first release) of the Harley lithium battery.
The master tech at my dealership highly recommended that I make the move to the new version LiFe 8Ah battery. He has them on all his bikes, including a Pan. From what I understand, they don't need to be connected to a battery tender (yes I'm aware of the special tender required for maintaining lithium batteries ) much if at all as compared to my current (pun intended again :Trike1 AGM battery. 5 year warranty sounds good. I'm just done with battery life being so unpredictable. I've been burned twice with my Ultra when it started fine at home but failed to start while out and about. I'm looking to be proactive in this area now.
My concerns are regarding cold/cool starts, reverse draw and if anyone has had issues with powering updated sound systems. But please, only comments related to the new version of this battery. The old version was superseded for a reason.
