POWERBOX LITHIUM from ADVANBLACK.
Two years now, with the EZ start S&S cams have had NO problem.
Never heard anything about having to change regulator, I didn't.
And the man asked if you had an experience with those.
He didn't ask for opinions.

I have a Twin Power Li in my RG. About 4 years now. Probably go back to a quality AGM if it ever needs replacing. Only issue I've seen is need a wake up in the morning after a cold night. And they're a bit expensive

I am skeptic on 800 lb+ bike you can tell the difference when picking it up. But I never have
I would also like to hear someone say they had it atleast 5 years. I get 7 out of OEM. But I do get if you have a big engine, maybe they help.
What I heard as for voltage, they like it a little higher than tradtional tenders or chargers. But the bikes put out 14.4 which is enough. It might come down to how much you ride if you need another tender. You ride alot, and top it off regularly by riding maybe you don't. Then again if you ride alot, you don't need a tender.

Yeah, but that doesn't stop the resident threadwrecker. Battery threads are like a dinner bell to him, and he has to let you know what HE thinks, and what HE would do, even when actual product experience is asked for.

He pipes in with absolutely NO profund information in anything he talks about.
he just likes to listen to himself talk..........
He's a lonely old soul that has nobody in his life, so he tries to make friends, but he's such a social misfit, he just doesn't fit in!!
I think he could fit right in on a LGBQRSTFU forum........

First off, if thinking about installing a LI in a bagger, I wouldn't unless it has a supper big motor and high compression and no auto compression releases. The 30L AGM batteries are fine. I use Yuasa GYZ32HLs They last 5-6 years in 107 bagger.. They have more AH than the LI so all you are getting is CCA.. You can run the accessories longer.. 
I've run LI on a 116 high compression Dyna and a 131 CI high compression FXR and they work great. I did have a regulator die on the Dyna and it killed Shorai bat.. My 131 had a twin power LI in it for 4 years. After that when cool, it would stall the starter in the first crank. I probably could have added a cranking delay to the ignition but I've been through 2 ring gears and a couple starter clutches with AGMs only lasting 2 years.. It got replaced with a Shorai cuz twin power pricing went through the roof. The 116 with LI was the same, go much longer than 2 years with AGM and I'd break starter stuff. It had a Shorai that lasted 4 years until the regulator went over voltage then died a horrible dead.. Didn't catch fire but was starting to melt.
I have a NOCO battery that will shut itself off that I tried in the 131. I believe it killed the turn signal module in the process.. It didn't like the 2KW starter and 2 gauge cables..
