I have one for the XS not in yet but 10 times the cranking power and the size of a coke can and you can put it anywhere at any angle. Will let you all know how it goes when I get off me arse

I was hoping you'd get one. 

Would be great for a custom or the likes.

if our batts at the minute cost $120ish, and last 3 or 4 yrs,,

these new batts cost the samish,, how long do they last, any one know,

one of the vids said it would wind the old honda over all day,, it would to have start slowing after a few like a standard batt surely,, I know cordless tools can go for ages screwing or drilling, but that,s not winding over our motors when they don't want to start

are these the new "fad" as far as batts go,, going down the environmental road, no more lead filled with acid,, but what nasties have these batts in them

if homemade batts start  being made, how long before we start seeing bikes catching fire

 sorry don't mean to sound like a doubting thomas

If you make it wrong or don't charge them correctly they explode rather nicely. I would rather have the purpose built unit with a 5 year wtee

Demo and also how to make packs....

about 200 has control card built in

Or build your own for a lot less...........omitting the RC  various voltage tap connections...charging cycle is a whole new topic.
