DCTPaul 629 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) So... Yesters Started... had a ride about... Stopped for petrol... Fingers Crossed, Stated... Safternoon... Nuffink! Think the battery isn't holding charge - tickle trickle is saying 'Charged' but not enough ooomph. So looking at Halfords with a Trade Card... Yuasa Lead Acid YTZ14 - 11.2 Ah - 230CCA (£102) £82.60 Or @KingJames recomendation of a Shido Lithium LTX14BS - 3.5Ah? - 240CCA (£81) £57.60... Mmm... what to do? King James? That Shido Lithium LTX14BS really better than the OE Yuasa? Edited March 20, 2022 by DCTPaul Link to post

Performance will be very similar. I have a JMT YTX14H-FP Lithium Ion battery in my NC. The actual direct swap is a YTZ14S-FP, but you don't need it as the CCA of Li Ion batteries is huge. I chose to save the money. Link to post

Although cranking power is better for Lithium, capacity tends to be lower which can be an issue if you have a tracker or alarm and leave the bike unused for too long. I found mine would get run right down in 2-3 weeks, which never happened with the original lead acid battery. Link to post
DCTPaul 629 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Cant order the Shido Lithium LTX14BS as i have to put a reg in, and it says not compatable... web exclusive and all that... so will go Std Yuasa. Thanks All... Link to post
