Stark Power Lithium Battery

[Busabim]

The Lifo battery needs 14.5 volts from the regulator to charge. I found this out the hard way on a long trip. These batteries are 10x better than stock acid batteries in every way. If not I will be travelling with my small stark charger as a back up.

Still cranking. Even on a 16 degree F day. Paid $114 about 9 months ago.

Are you saying that the bike normal use cannot charge this battery sufficiently and you have to put a charger on it to keep it alive?

No if your regulator is getting up to 14.5 volts then there is no issue, my voltage topped out at 14 volts which I am swapping out my regulator as it is too low.
