Default Lithium batteries

Installed a lithium battery in a sportster shortly after the maxi fuse blew. Just wondering if anybody else had this problem

I've had my Shorai lithium for over 4 years now. Some of the best money I've ever spent on my bike. Would never go back to L/A or AGM. Worth the extra money for peace of mind.

No maxi fuse on my 1991, much simpler electrics. But, never a problem.

This translates to: Shortly after the maxi fuse blew, I installed a new lithium battery in a sportster. Or did you intend it to read the other way around?

I am confused as well with the way the post is worded - what's the problem?
