Lithium Battery
« on: October 17, 2014, 12:29:18 AM »
Looks like the lithium batteries are coming down in price. I was quoted over $220 + GST only a few months ago.

Strewth!  I paid $250 in July for the LFP14H-BS battery from that supplier!  Also now $169.95   :'(

Biggles I paid $180 fitted for that back in March from my dealer. I got the bike out of the shed after 7 weeks layoff to go and get a pink slip for rego. The bike turned over like I had just ridden it yesterday :clap  The old battery would have been dead after 3 weeks. Gotta love the lithium batteries  :thumb

Ah- different battery.  Mine is the LFP20CH-BS which has 360 CCA, not the 290 CCA these others offer.
The LFP20CH-BS has dropped in price, but only to $239 from $250, so it's not all it appears.
