Overview
The Lithium Iron Phosphate battery is the ultimate in weight versus power technology. This battery weighs in at only 3.03 pounds and offers an incredible 315 C.C.A. This is a drop in replacement for your Lead-acid battery, and will require no change to your stock charging system.
Shorai LFX batteries contain Shorai-proprietary eXtreme-Rate Lithium Iron prismatic cells (chemistry LiFePO4). They contain no poisonous lead, no acid, and do not create gasses during charge, as traditional Lead-Acid batteries do. Compared to lead-acid, Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are also extremely light, have much lower self-discharge, do not sulfate, and are environmentally friendly.
This is the heavy duty LFX21L6-BS12 battery. It offers an incredible 315 C.C.A., and the Lead-Acid Equivalent of 21 amp hours. It weighs in at only 3.03 pounds and yet still has the power to spin over even the most stubborn engines. Not only does this battery offer incredible advantaged over the lead-acid battery in weight, but also in physical size. This battery will effectively take the place of a YTX20HL in power, but it is not larger than a HYTX14HL battery.
We recommend using this battery in your regular commuters, your frequent play vehicles, and anything that may require that extra punch to start.

** PbEq equals Lead-Acid Equivalent. This means that a 21 AH PbEq Lithium Iron Phosphate battery will perform the same as a 21 amp hour Lead-acid battery.

Lithium 21 AH PBEq
Just purchased the battery and it is great so far. This is a Lithium that is much smaller than the standard batteries. It was much easier to install with all the "filling material" than I had expected. Enough different size and thickness material comes with the battery that you only need to select the correct material and cut to fit. The whole process took less than 15 minutes to have the battery and filling material properly sized.
Battery is too new to say how well it holds up. Since it's about twice the price of a standard battery, I hope to get at least five years before replacing.
Cons:
None so far.

Something REALLY New and Improved
The only thing I had to give extra effort to was that the battery box needed shims as the new unit is slightly shorter than the original unit. The shims provided are easy to cut to fit where necessary, and took just a few minutes to install once I measured the old and new.
I am very glad that I spent a few extra $ to move into the 21st century.
This battery is a dream. I can't believe the low weight. Not only is the weight of the bike reduced, but installation in the tight spot on my bike was easier because the battery is so much easier to handle.
The instruction sheet was complete and simple.
The future is NOW!
Cons:
None!

bad company
These people will not stand behind their product. I have filled out the form they requested and called them several times. They will not answer the calls they just have you leave a voice message and say they will get back to you but they never call you back
***Note From BatteryStuff.com ***
Customer emailed BatteryStuff.com initially about his concern and was advised the battery he purchased back in 2018 was under warranty through the manufacturer. Shorai chooses to handles all warranty request for their batteries directly, so the customer was given Shorai's contact information and advised to contact Shorai directly. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 most manufacturers including Shorai are down to minimal staffing, which is increasing the time it takes to reply to customer claims. Given the customers recent review BatteryStuff.com did contact Shorai to help expedite the customer warranty request. We were advised by Shorai that the customer was emailed a few days after their initial request for warranty. Per Shorai's warranty: Warranty replacements after the first year from the original date of purchase are prorated 50% from retail, so the customer was emailed the a 50% off coupon to purchase a new battery off Shorai's website.
