The motobatt batteries I have had aren't lithium, theyre glass matt fibre. So they dont need any special charger, they dont leak if tipped over, dont swell, Never need topping up, come fully charged ready to fit

Personally, i am careful with lithium. They can catch fire due to short-circuit, overload, and it is not possible to get the fire out. Now, most of them probably won't be on fire, but if it happens to be yours, it is also the end of your bike. Lithium burns very fiercly, and water has a dramatic effect on it.

Just my 2 pence.... I would go for Motobatt as well.

I�ll stick to the OEM battery, Yuasa, because I still run the first OEM battery after 105.000km�s+. So if I have to replace it, I'll go for another Yuasa, makes sense for me....

+ lithium batteries are much lighter
+ at the right working temperature give a much higher cranking power
+ they have a very low discharge

- low ah rating which means can go flat if you draw any current when the bike is switched off
- expensive and need special charger for maintenance charging
- in cold temperature, the cranking is hopeless and you need to be a patient man
- does not take kindly to be in a low state of charge for long periods

+/- is your charging system up to charging lithium batteries
+/- is the battery fitted with internal fuse and on board battery management electronics

these are the points I went through when I needed a battery and decided to buy a Yuasa :)
