Mine Blew up. It didnt make more than two pathetic starts. Hopefully they are improving.
When I bought it from the Jap bike shop, plenty of their customers were using them successfully.
Not so lucky on the Big Dog. And for what its worth this was the middle of last year so the construction/ability may have changed.
Also like to point out the Braille is still going strong!

I know this is an older post but I will not recomend a lithium battery to my enemy. If your voltgage regulator craps out on you the battery will go super nova. Lithium batteries get very hot when they are overcharged or used in a constant demand. (states so on the Antigravity website too). The hotter they get the more power they put out (that's why in cold starts they tell you leave the ignition and lights on and crank it a few times to get the battery warm - produces more power)
So when my Voltage Regulator crapped the battery went super nova and it fried my ignition module, head light, plugs, and tachometer.
Stick with a good AGM battery and a trickle charger. If you are having battery and starting issues, check your regulator to see if it is working correctly, and clean the contacts on your starter. There are threads on this in the forum. Just my opinion.
One other note: I work in the Aviation field and the manufacturer of our aircraft used lithium batteries for instrument emergency power but went back to a lead acid battery because of the overheating problem. I guess I should have known.

Ive been researching batteries lately because I need to change mine. I called Ballistic becuase a local dealer here has stated that a few people have had LiPo batteries in their bikes catch fire, not Ballistics. Anyway, the tech at Ballistic said the biggest contributor to the LiPo batteries over heating and catching fire is buying too small of battery. He said the Big Dogs have issues cranking because if the 117" and same issue with 124" bikes. He said not to buy anything smaller than a 24 cell LiPo for a big inch bike if you want the battery to last. Their 16 cell wont hold up.
So, just in case your shopping for a LiPo, just keep that in mind.
you can buy a 8-12 cell "HD" replacement LiPo on Amazon but they will not perform for very long.
AND....he did say make sure that the Regulator is always in working order keeping charge voltage below 14.4 volts. if it spikes above that...Like Oldskuul said, It will go Super Nova on your Ass!!!
The new compufire VR only charge between 13-13.5 volts and I think this is to help lithium batteries. 14.4 is lead acid only, I actually talked to Braille recently who said 14.4 will reduce the life of their AGM and any tender shouldn't exceed 13.4-13.6.
I thought my new compufire regulator was fucked up until I read the instructions that clearly state only 0.5-1volt over the standing battery 12.4-12.5
