how often do you use your bike?

 

if you seldom ride, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4) battery might be a good choice. it on the expensive side. alternative, you can hook it up with a battery charger.

 

if you ride your bike often yet it still go flat, get your charging system tested.

The standard manufacturer batt of your bike shld be the best, most likely Yuasa .. Do note of different types of Yuasa, u get what you pay for..

 

For aftermarket batt, there's a number in the market, motobatt is worth trying cheap n can last almost 2 yrs..

I used Shorai (its a lithium battery like "Ballistic") on my DR before.

 

The performance was better than any Yuasa battery I used. Never went back to using the default Yuasa lead batteries.

Motorcyclist are the nicest people on the road, try not to kill us.

My apology to TS for side track.

 

Is the Ctek battery charger suitable to charge the LiFePO 4 and LITHIUM ION battery or the Ctek is suitable for those Yuasa ones?

Looking at your batt size,

1) Why not change it to YTZ10S instead, a bit higher Ah

2) Do you do a lot of short distance riding everyday?

3) Multiple cranking per day?

If both is yes. Each time u crank, batt is being drained + short distance riding (insufficient charging due to lack of distance) = short battery lifespan.

 

Root of the problem is not the battery but your usage. So even if change to Lithium batt, you will still have d same problem.

Ctek normal charger is not suitable for Lithium type battery. they sell a dedicated lithium battery charger.

Ok The 2nd CMO is good but I m not electrically train or well knowledge in this but my batt is run on 12V 8A the CMO is selling a 14 AMP, that s a 6amp diff. wont it effect or fry the wire?

The battery rating has nothing to do with frying wire or rectifier etc....

No prob. The numbers, be it 12 or 14, refers to AH = ampere hour.

 

Your accessories wont fry. They will still draw the required amperage no matter what battery size you dump into your bike. Having a larger battery will only mean you can have more accessories installed.

 

Good luck!
