What am I supposed to Google? I want to check it out, I mean, I went to the site that the video you posted shows. I posted a link to it in my above post, and it shows batteries ranging from 1000 to 3500 dollars.

I don't know what to Google, because the one time he mentions the type of battery (nanosomething) I can't understand the ending. So I don't know what to research, he does say that it is not a Lithium battery, I don't know that it is not, but he does say it is not in the video. I know the video shows up as Lithium Ion, but that's not what he mentions.

Please tell me how to research this further, and where to find them for 150-350 dollars.

Check em out HERE.

I like the 3 year warranty too.

This is a pic of one next to the OEM battery.

What is the average weight of that battery? I am presuming the more cells the heavier? Like I initially stated, my Odyssey must weigh close to 30 pounds. Those are pretty reasonable priced for a 3 year warranty IMO. The only thing that concerns me are the CCA's. This is what I am getting out of the Odyssey.

  • 925 cranking amps for 5 seconds
  • 870 cranking amps for 10 seconds
  • 765 cranking amps for 20 seconds
I guess another concern would be how do you secure the lio battery because of the difference in size?

You will find that Odyssey is probably the only battery brand that uses that sort of data for selling its products. It means it is not easy to compare them with other brands, so take it with a pinch of salt!

I have a Shorai that is significantly smaller than my Glide's stock battery, but has higher CCA, 405 versus 350 volts. It weighs just over 4 pounds. If your battery is a PC925 it has a CCA of 460 volts.

Each different size battery weighs a different amount, and the weights are listed along with the dimensions.

For example, you can look HERE for the battery that is designed for the 103 high compression engine.

It weighs a whopping 3.2 lbs...NOT 32 lbs, but just a little over 3 lbs.

Every battery comes with an assortment of adhesive backed foam panels so that it can fit nice and snug in the battery compartment.

My battery is the PC925LMJ and the specs I copy/pasted from the web site.

I have a TC88 (01 FLHR) so if you can recommend the best bang for the buck I know who I will be buying my next battery from. Would love to put my bike on a diet so to speak...

The 16 cell, at this LINK is the one rated for your bike. That is what I am running in my 103 and what Devin is running in his TC88 Dyna.

You can go down to the 12 cell, it will work, but it will be sluggish with a TC88 because it is rated for a 1300 cc max.
