See Shorai Specs PDF below for full fitment guideĪll Shorai Batteries require charging out of the box prior to use. Holds unloaded charge for one year without maintenance Ultra light- one fifth the weight of lead-acid batteries on average In any case, during storage you may use the voltage chart above and an accurate voltmeter, and consider recharging when the battery is around the 50% capacity remaining mark, or above. If you know that you will go a number of weeks or months without riding, you can either attach a tender, or disconnect the negative cable from the battery. In this case Shorai expects that a few hours of riding per month will be all that is needed to avoid tending. Newer vehicles may have a significant draw even when the key is OFF, to maintain clocks and computers, etc. At most this battery only needs to be charged every 6 to 12 months, depending on the use and average storage temperature. As such, any vehicle which has no current flowing when the key is OFF should not need a tender. A fully charged LFX can sit for a year or more and still retain adequate starting capacity, without damaging the battery.


This means that they can still crank your vehicle even if the remaining capacity is quite low. Shorai LFX have a much slower self-discharge than the best lead acid batteries (1/6 to 1/7, on average), they do not sulfate as capacity drops, and they are the ultimate "deep cycle" battery. Most powersports enthusiasts have gotten used to hooking up a tender to their lead-acid batteries, all the time. Shorai LFX Lithium motorcycle batteries are some of the lightest and most powerful replacement batteries available. Shorai LFX Lithium Iron Battery LFX18A1-BS12
