In my next change I will try the Li-ion I saw a great review of them at Horse Magazine, three times the price, but they do three good things
1 - They last longer, Crank Harder
2 - They are quarter of the size, for a softail when you have tight spot to put all your load equalizers, fuses and maybe tuck in there the 12V Car Charger. and Garage door opener.
3 - They are the easiest way to lose 12 pounds (they are super light).
Been wondering the same thing. Mine will probably be due come spring just to be safe. May dig out the jp catalog and take for 40 minute drive and pick something up when I go and get the spring mods

Interesting. Weight and size would be worth the look. Any data yet on lifespan on these? I haven't priced yet but one response was 3x the cost of a conventional. That's steep. I'd need significant life gains to justify that purchase personally.
Read some posts in the forums here with some mixed reviews and questions around maintenance. I don't want to hijack the thread too much but if anyone has an actual usage report I'd be interested in reading it.
