I knew the lithium batteries were smaller and lighter, but I was really surprised at how light it was! Extra weight that I don't need to lose now - having pizza and an extra beer tonight! Ha!
Awesome video Jerry. Looking at those spacers below the battery, do you think if you made a three sided spacer (ie still holds the battery up with one side open) you could use the space below the battery to store a small tool roll perhaps? Seeing as you’re giving up the tool storage to fit the slimline panels 🤷♂️ Love your work.
Great changeover! How has it been since the Li battery installation? I am annoyed with the Int650 battery dying on me if I dont crank it every 2 days. Thank you for the video. 🙂
@RideWithJerry I'll probably do it asap too. Have cleaned and changed all relays to the Panasonic ones already, still no dice. This seems like a good fix to a perennial issue. Thanks!
Hey Jerry thanks for the plug 😊 I saved 8 pounds when I changed my battery . One thing you will notice if when it gets a little colder and your bike as sit for a little while it won't start till battery warms up a little bit turn on the headlight . And the funny thing it gets stronger and stronger the more you try to start till it does, completely opposite from a lead battery. Cheers John K.
I don't expect cold issues where I live, rarely if ever gets below freezing. But, I plan to keep on a battery maintainer. My concern is having a parasitic draw on the battery with accessories I've added to the bike.
@@RideWithJerry Oooh right out there in Nevada ,do you have accessories hooked to you battery? I have a USB port connected to my accessory connector in the headlight but that has no power when bike is off.

Not sure how you were able to do this part so easily, having a lot of trouble getting the small bolt to connect

Good idea, I'll have to look into doing that!
@@RideWithJerry I’ll be very interested to see how you go! Space being such a premium and all.

No issues since switching
