I’m considering putting a LifePo4 into my ‘82 Yamaha. Even if you don’t, I offer two suggestions: 1) install a battery disconnect. You’ll get into the habit of using it after you get done riding. The one I’m installing in my friends bike is a on right off the positive terminal. 2) install a battery maintainer into the bike itself. I have one on my Yamaha so all I have to do is plug in the bike when I get home.

1a) …a knob right on the positive terminal.
I do have a maintainer, but that disconnect is definitely a good idea!
Have you run into any with a cable or something along those lines? This battery is behind a panel so it would be a pain to get to.
@@CarDoItYourself not off hand, but you could definitely take this one and attach it to two cables and mount it somewhere else.
Thinking about doing this on my Predator 8750 generator...
I've got the 3500, and when the battery goes I'm switching.
This battery uses lithium iron phosphate cells. They won;t catch fire like other lithium ion cells.
