Title: new battery recommendations
Post by: An Orange Crush on March 26, 2015, 10:48:43 PM

Time for a new battery, I have a 2011 DT300 any recommendations as far as aftermarket or anything?
If theres a newer high tech one I want it.

quite a few in the market, but going for a battery usually means one that is maintenance free (even though that is the industry standard nowadays), weight saving and one with a high rated cold cranking amps.

The level up would be a lithium battery. This is very popular among the superbike crowd because of it weight savings. check out http://shoraipower.com/ (http://shoraipower.com/)

But why use it on a scooter? way overkill imho.

I got myself one of these:-

probably costs about the same as a maintenance free!!

it seems to be doing ok, no problems so far!!
cheers,
Don.
