I NEVER would have guessed that, Kid.

Keep ridin' Kid. I remember when I was 70.
Ah Bob. Great to know! Been a lot of years out here.
My "NEW" SX came with a BikeMaster MS12-10ZS AGM battery. After getting the bike, I don't have much confidence in them.
70 yrs....Young at heart.
Thanks. Do you mean you don't have much faith in what? Lithium or that AGM you in you have? Thank you in advance.
I'm surprised a swapped in AGM battery even has the CCA's to crank it? 200-220cca Vs. 340!
Wow I left out a whole sentence. I don't have faith in the dealer. The AGM was weak as well when the bike was delivered.
Having a tough time finding a correct size and correct terminal orientation. My new 14 came with a destroyed Shorai. What lithium replacement has worked? I'm in wisconsin, bike won't be an everyday ride, and 30's 40's in the morning is a good riding day. I'm thinking an easily reached disconnect on a main cable to save the battery between rides also.
Looking at this but terminals are reverse.

These first two are a little smaller, higher CCA though.

This one is roughly the same size and considerably higher CCA.

Why not the OE Shorai? Someone posted they don't make them anymore, but when I looked it was still there? FYI they are huge Buell and EBR fans and have taken care of me very well just by calling.
The china built Scorpion "Scorpion does not rate their batteries with an AH rating*." Scares me...
