Anyone use these on their racebike? 3 or 4 cell? and what size? bike still needs to lose some weight and this looks like an easy hit

Not sure of the Li-Po but have used Li-ion batteries on all my race bikes this season with no problems. The weight reduction is decent but as they are packaged as a direct replacement for the standard battery there is no reduction in size.

kept them regularly charged and the 400 has managed 8 race meetings this season trouble free. I also used them in my ER, SV and ZX6 and all performed flawlessly.

I kept a standard battery as a backup, but to be honest the Li-Ion is more reliable. JMT units are pretty good value and can recommend them.

thats what they recommend, although i reckon you might even get away with the lower power "200" battery of theirs...

Alan,

Went for the cheaper Optimate Li model...bought a couple as running 5 bikes in total. No problems at all and still going strong.
