battery

[gmck]

I am going to have to replace my battery soon and found a lithium phosphate battery. never heard of them but sound good. Anyone have any experience with them?

I'm waiting for some anwers on that also! Never heard of that type of battery! Inquiring minds want to know!

"Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry also offers a longer cycle life over standard lithium ion cells."

"One of the other major advantages for LiFePO4 when compared with LiCoO2 is higher current or peak-power rating."

Great advantages for bikes.

You can do online search for purchasing info.

I have a site bookmarked but can't get to it from a mobile phone without a lot of searching. I do remember two things.
1. Expensive
2. Not recommended for cold weather usage

I'm still thinking about 'em.

We used to drain our batteries and refresh what we drained out with a drop of H2SO4 before pouring it back in and recharging with a 6amp battery charger but we can't buy that in Britain anymore.

Just a knee-jerk reaction:
Holy s**t! The only gun you can buy is disabled, they've got cameras on every corner. . . Did the British public just fall asleep for a generation?
Wow.
Not trying to start anything.
But wow.
Much sympathy going your way.

Perhaps just going with a AGM battery?

Yeah I know, They even made it against the law to smoke in your own car..

people think Britain is still a free country..We are actually one of the most repressed races on earth..

Google Tony Martin..a man who was continually robbed by gypsies reported it to the police who would do nothing to help, so one night he sat on his stairs in the dark with a shotgun he had borrowed, two gypsies broke his front door and entered his house, he killed one and wounded the other..He got life imprisonment for murder.

Then the wounded gypsie sued him..

I just found some links and guess it is like my laptop battery but better. used in hybrids. didn't know they were being made for bikes. now if someone has experience wit them. they are more expensive but if that much better might be worth it. I just don't want to be the first.
