Default Lithium battery
Has anyone sued a lithium battery in their Electa Glide model. (I own 2007 FLHTCUI) LOOKING FOR PROS AND CONS. Any issues with charging system? Thanks

I have had one in my 2010 FLHTCUI for almost 2 years and love it. No need to keep on a tinder and the bike fires right up after winter storage.

I've always heard the BS about how a grand jury can indict a ham sandwich, sueing an inanimate object sounds about as fruitless.

I have a lithium battery from Batteries Plus in my Ultra Classic. I love it. The bike has never turned over and started so well. I was amazed at the difference it made.

I have had the HD lithium iron (yes iron, not ion) battery for 4 years and it cranks like a beast. Best battery I have ever had so far. They do take a special battery tender if you decide to use one. It has to be able to charge a LiFePO4 battery (lithium iron). These batteries are much safer than the regular lithium ion, no bursting into flames, etc. Who wants to have something like that under your ****?!
