Ballistic Performance Components Announces New Ultra-Light Weight EVO 2 Lithium Ferrous Battery.

North Charleston, SC – December, 2010 – Ballistic Performance Components is proud to announce the launch of the new EVO 2 Series of light weight lithium ferrous batteries for powersports applications.

Your powersports vehicle is the pinnacle of modern technology. It is made with the latest lightweight, high-tech materials to be the most high performance vehicle on the road, lake, track or trail. You have modified your powersports vehicle with the best in carbon fiber, titanium, and magnesium in an effort to gain every last ounce of performance. Yet, under your seat is a heavy hunk of lead that was designed in the mid 1800’s.

Ballistic Performance Component Batteries use the latest, state of the art lithium ferrous energy storage technology available to provide you with a smaller, lighter, higher energy battery. Each Ballistic Performance Component Battery is assembled by hand in the USA using computer designed custom proprietary cells, cases, and hardware. As a result, Ballistic Performance Component Batteries will provide more energy out of a smaller package while requiring almost no regular maintenance and, under most conditions, a longer service life than existing lead acid batteries.

Ballistic Performance Components Batteries are made up of high-tech lithium ferrous cells and can weigh as much as ten pounds less than the lead-acid equivalent battery that comes stock in your powersports vehicle. Built to meet the rugged demands of professional racing, Ballistic Performance Components Batteries give a new meaning to the term “maintenance free.” With no special chargers or preparation required and a static discharge rate of less than 10% per year, a Ballistic Battery can be installed and forgotten about. Ballistic Performance Components Batteries are completely non-toxic and environmentally friendly so there are no worries about shipping, recycling, or sourcing acid locally. Ballistic Performance Components Batteries come ready to install and go!

Dealer Inquires Welcome!!!

I love my MOTYDesign battery. Purchased it last season. AMAZING battery

 

The MOTYdesign batteries have the same specs as the ballistic batteries for less money, they're actually lighter with the exception of the 8 cell.

 

Got a speedcell... very happy with it for the last year.

 

I saw the Shorai's at the IMS show this past weekend and was really impressed with the weight and how they are made. Evidently they are designed to give a high burst of energy for starting. Unlike, A123 cells which are designed for constant use over a long time.

 

Good to see all the other reasonably priced alternatives.

 

If you find Mavryk's thread and PM him he'll sell you the battery for $185. It was worth every single penny IMO.

 

Rob, I will have some with me at fontana, you can try it out. It does crank much better than a123 I had on my bike.

 

You need a specific charger. These should work:

Make sure you get the correct voltage rating.

which shorai battery model would you go for on an 06 gsxr 1000. full system, filter, ecu, and other little things.. stock motor.

thanks.

 

+1 :up:

Jim and his Maviryk Batterys rock!!!
Jim is a GREAT guy to deal with, I can't say enough about his customer service. The price for his batterys can't be beat and dthey come with beefy AMP quick disconnect connectors.
I have a full season on a 6-cell in a GSXR 750 superbike engine and it hasn't skipped a beat hot or cold.

 

LFX14. You can use smaller on race bike but that would be recommended size.
I have LFX07 in my R1 for testing and cranks as good. I cranked and started bike about 40 times, one after another, and still has power to spin motor easy.
However, we will use LFX09 in all our race bikes.
Recommendation is based on stock one and street use since those are worst conditions.

 

The guy at motowheels suggested the LFX18A1-BS12. What gives? Thanks for the help

 

Like I said, you can use any of them. It depends what you use bike for, if race bike you can use smaller if street bike and you running accessories you use bigger one.
I think this post may answer your question better than I would

Those Shorais seem the business. I may have to get one of those. The fact that they look like a conventional battery (only much lighter) and have clearly stated you can use a Deltran Battery Tender shows they're thinking of the average consumers.
