    Another Lithium Battery option

    Looking at an upgrade for my Vmax and I saw a few other types on here but didn't see this. http://sepbatteries.com/full-spectrum-p2-lithium-battery Has anyone used these? Pricing is still up there but cranking amps look good and style/fitment.

    Bad battery?

    My bike is dying at every stop only when the fans running. Had the battery load tested at 2 different auto parts stores and they said it was fine. Get it home and charge it, a week later its at 90%, another week later its at 85% and has stayed there for a couple weeks now (its not in the bike...

    Low battery just left me stranded

    I guess I have to go through my wiring again to find why I'm not holding a charge again. Last year I cleaned up all the grounds and I thought I had it fixed, but this morning it cranked very slowly, and half way to work it died when I came to a stop. Not enough juice to crank it over now. Ah...

    **Oversize Battery Mod** 340-CCA, *ULTIMATE* FIX for all hot / cold start problems!**

    Hey guys, just wanted to share something with ya'll... I had the notorious starting problems- So I went the usual route of replacing the battery with the oddysey 170cca, then I soldered the R/R wires, then the "crimp”, which I removed and re-soldered those wires, and various other connections...

    Battery Charge

    This one is frustrating me. I recently replaced the battery on my max, but it goes flat real quick when I don't use the bike. I charged it today and went straight out, I got home and went to start it an hour later and no dice. Charge seems ok with 12v at idle and 13.5 to 14.0v at 3000 rpm. Do I...

    Starter not able to rotate engine when fan is on

    My 2007 Vmax-1200 starts OK. Runs OK. The battery is unable to rotate the engine when hot and radiator fan is ON. The battery seems absolutely OK when bike is cold. Do I need to change the battery or is this a normal phenomena with Vmax-1200?

A few years ago that wire burnt up on this bike and it...

    Odyssey Battery Died

    Well, looks like my Odyssey battery finally died. It has a build date of 12/04 so it lasted over 9 years. Trying to charge it right now but have my doubts it will take. As much as I like the battery, I need to find something less expensive but still maintenance-free. It is just too much of a...

    Got Battery!

    Got my 18 amp Shorai battery. 2.5 lbs and its smaller than the current battery. Though the current battery was new(er) also. I charged it and its working fine.... sigh... go figure. But at least I saved almost 11 lbs from the original weight battery. I am not sure if I am going to install it...

    Bought a new battery

    Stepping up to the new age of battery for my motorcycle. Hard to imagine paying almost $150 for a battery..... but its 10 lbs lighter and has more cranking power and its more stable in cold weather. But almost double the price. But I get tired of having to replace batteries all the time...

    Panasonic Battery

    Time for a new battery. For those using the Panasonic..are you using any kind of terminal adapter to get the posts to attach from the top (as normal) or are you just twisting your wires to make it fit?

    Horn & Battery drain ?

    Previously followed the thread on fitting alternative horn. Led to my fitting a very acceptably loud, budget horn. More than once it has gained the attention of myopic, cell phone idiots, so well satisfied. The fitting issue wasn't quite as dramatic as for other guys because due to the Max...

    Need Battery

    I have an '07 and my battery is shot. Where is a good place to purchase a battery and what is a good battery to buy? Also, I was going to purchase signals form UFO and noticed that the owner passed away. Are they still in business? Thanks Jeff
