What Size Lithium Battery
Over the years i’ve Had great success with Odyssey batteries but in recent years with success of using lithium on other bikes i’m Thinking about fitting one on the 1100 the problem being I run a big tank(24.8L)so zero chance of a PC680 size battery i’ve Always used a 545 size what size do current lithium users have??

I have an Antigravity YT12BS-16 ~6"X3"X5". I tried a YTB12BS-12, which is the same case size but 360 CA vs. 480 CA. It discharged a couple of times in <1 month and didn't have much reserve if the bike didn't start immediately. No problems with the 480.

I have Battery Tenders 240cca lithium battery in mine plus a pile of foam pads to fill in the space, it's about the size of 2-3 packs of cigarettes. I have the same battery in all 3 bikes with the oldest about 3+ years. It weighs just around a pound so I lost 15 lbs up high plus an absectomy took out another 16 for a 30lb. loss up top. It made a significant difference to turn in, I was turning in too soon for a bit until I got used to the difference.

Cheers gents it was the size I was after the lithium on my SM is 5 years old in January and is still good but I see the lithium options for the KTM 1290 will fit in the 1100s so i’ll Order one if by some chance it doesn’t i’ll Fit it will go in my recently acquired Ktoom GT

I found the lithium batteries fire up all my bikes far quicker than any of the gel cells ever did. When I put the first in my zx14 my neighbor was not believing that mini battery would turn over 1400cc's of high compression motor. it fired up immediately to every ones amazement, mine included.
