Good info Jake. I've used them in race bikes, but we'd charge them up and run them just about out on a bike with no charging system. I'm not sure if they're a direct replacement for our big dogs. I know they work fine on most of the new jap bikes (rockets etc.) but these dogs are so freaking temperamental. I'm thinking the braille for the 150 bucks is the best bet.

I run my Big Boar, can't beat it. I have seen a lot of Braille failures in the last year. I bought a mini Braille battery to put under the seat of my truck that is 1/2 the size of a regular battery but still 1800+ cca... thought I'd try it.

Braille told me it is the actual battery that the GM Corvette racing team uses in their cars.

You have a hook up on the big boar? I'd rather get one though you...lithium batts are cool for things that you know are just here and there toys in a controlled environment from my experience. My STOCK battery has been in my 06 since May of 06 and its just finally to the point where it's dead after a week if it sits off the tender. So, the deka has really done its job. I would like to replace it with something with a bit more punch though.

Got the Braille in yesterday, two days of riding so far and its just like everyone here says....it works very well compared to the softail Batt. Good clean solid starts every time.

Even better news though, I got my money back on the Li Ion batt.....whew!

my friend is having probs with a new hd battery on his 01 bulldog. it's a brand new battery and when he goes to crank it for the first time that day, it'll run the batter down. he hooks it to a non running pickup truck and lets it charge for a couple hours, unhooks it and it'll fire right up. he did buy the smaller lithium ion battery a couple weeks ago and it'd stall the starter on the first try, then fire right up on the second try. he took it back and got a refund and got the hd battery. any ideas? kinda sounds like a parasitic draw with the hd battery to me.
