Just put one in mine about 3-4 months ago, I'll get back to you on it in 3-4 years. Actually I now have the same Deltran 240ah battery in all 3 bikes. They seem to take less care & I only throw them on the battery tender if they've sat for a month or more just to top them off. The oldest is only a 11/2 years old so no long term testing here yet. I do like how much faster they start up all my bikes.

Mine is 3 1/2 years old in a 12s. I've accidentally completely discharged it 3-4 times. Juiced it with a regular lead acid battery charger for 2 - 3 minutes, restarted the bike and rode it to completely recharge it. I don't put it on a tender. I have not been babying it.
It will probably catch on fire tomorrow now that I said all this.

Have Shorais in 4 bikes so far...for just about one year.
Shorai chargers on all. Nothing to report so far other than all is well. The first Shorai on my R11S died after a few months and Shorai replaced it and it's charger free of charge. They wanted to see my invoice/receipt. I still had both boxes...sent it all back in original packaging.

SEQUIM, WA, eh?
I looked at property up there back in '08. Lovely area, for sure. Not much rain but lots of drizzle. . "The Hole in the Sky" ... "The Blue Hole" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ![]()

You are one of the few to figure out the Sequim drizzle, most move here assuming the low rain fall and blue hole mean sunshine , some leave but most stay, our population has been growing by leaps and bounds the last several years .

A retirement community...and a beautiful one.
I was staggered by the high real estate prices back in '08...seemed to be inflated. I traveled to and bought a place in Scottsdale, AZ instead. More value for the same price. More torrid heat but the 7 months of winters are paradise. ![]()
