Gotta say I love this little battery! So far its been two long years since I took the engine out of my 900, this battery stayed in the bike until today(not hooked up). I threw the volt meter on it and it read 13.6v. Nice...two years of sitting and still like new!!!!!!! |

smur, I'm not Nathan but I have heard of that issue but not personally experince it. Supposedly the trick is to just turn the key on for a few minute prior to trying to turn over the motor. |

If you go to their site there is a video of one of these cranking a big inch Harley after being outside overnight below freezing. The longer you bold the key the faster these batteries turn when its cold. The heat that it generates while cranking helps and does not kill the battery. Watch the video, I'm still glad I spent the money on this even though my bike has been apart for a while.... |

For $300, these things better come with a blow job. |

Some various Li batteries had overcharging issues with our charging systems if the voltage went a little too high. Hopefully they have adequate protection from that by now. Something to be aware of though. |

Thanks for the info on the cold starting.
I had read the same things about "priming" the battery for a few seconds before starting and was just looking for actual users.
Gotta love the size and weight savings. |

300? Mabe for auto application. Mine was 150. I'm pretty sure they are made in Wisconsin but KWS distributes them, they may be part or whole owner I'm not sure. |
