Hello Folks, My battery doesn't hold it's charge for long and it will need to be replaced before too long. I've read some pros and cons on lithium batteries but I would be interested in hearing from people that are using the batteries.

Regards,

RD

I've not needed to replace the battery in my R1200R yet, I've only had it (2010) for a month. But, I have been using a Shorai Li battery in my 2007 Ducati GT1000 and 1997 Ktm Duke for three years. The batteries have exceeded my expectations. My R1200R will get one when the time comes. I'm in San Diego county where winters are mild though. I charge / maintain them with a charger maintainer that was designed for flooded Pb acid batteries, and have no problems.
