Need a new battery questions...
Probably goin with a Deka, but considering lithium.
Are there any major advantages gained by using lithium? Opinions please.
Also was wondering since this is the first time I’ll be disconecting it... Will it delete my saved map that I have installed from fuel moto?
Thanks gang

When HD battery failed on last bike I went with lithium. It was much stronger, much less dependent on tender, much lighter. Only down side was initial cost - otherwise totally positive.

good ole cheap dumb battery chargers will charge lithium's properly. Do not get the fancy ones with the desulfation mode or weird do dads. The original battery tender or the Duraboost Battery Maintainer 1000 works. I have the duraboost hooked up to my KTM but as soon as i plug it in, the battery states it's fully charged. That's how awesome these new Lithiums are.
The only quirks that lithiums have is that in the winter when its cold, you have to warm up the battery like you are starting it, wait a few secs and then hit the start again.

They do make lithium specific chargers which cost less then 50 dollars now, but they are no different from the regular battery chargers out there. So if you do buy one, you can use that to charger regular acid type or gel batteries.
