That's the one.

You can buy one here
I was waiting for my battery to die in order to buy one but the f$%^ing thing still working after 4 years of use, this year i will change it anyway because i want to reduce weight, i calculated that a set of new pipes and this battery will remove 7 kg! from the bike and this is allot a specially when this wight seats high up.

you can build your own battery, the sells are from the company A123 and can be bought separately the only problem is the soldering, if you play to much with the solder it will destroy the cell so you need to be fast and that means good equipment.

From what i am reading, there is a lot of happy riders with this battery

thanks a lot

110dollar is okej and better than i would build a battery by my own and destroy the parts :D

If you want you can buy Lithium Ion Battery.
JMT starts produced Li-ion battery for XT660 ( Li-ion YTX14(L)-BS ) witch weighs only 0,9 KG.

that would be 3times as heavy then the other battery

The Nano phosphate batteries are much better then normal Li-ion, i saw how someone put a nail in the battery under a load and nothing happened, try to do it with the Li-ion and you probably start a fire.
Also the spec of the Nano phosphate is better.

who wants to put a nail in his battery? :D

not me...but can I come and watch?:incon_aargh[1]:
