Replace your original battery with a powerful and significantly lighter lithium motorcycle battery
A good motorcycle battery must do more than just provide sufficient voltage. The battery needs to be powerful enough to reliably start the engine, fit in the available battery compartment, and connect to your motorcycle’s electrical system. In this collection, you’ll find high-quality lithium motorcycle batteries for street bikes, sport bikes, touring bikes, and other powersport applications.
A lithium motorcycle battery is especially interesting when you want to save weight without sacrificing starting power. The lower weight is not only practical during installation but can also be appealing for sporty motorcycles and projects where every kilogram counts. Due to their compact design, some lithium batteries can even replace multiple traditional batteries. Depending on the model, filler blocks or other mounting options are included.
Simply comparing the voltage or type designation of the old battery is not enough. When choosing a new motorcycle battery, also pay attention to the external dimensions, the position of the positive and negative terminals, the type of battery terminals, the capacity, and the available starting power. A battery may seem electrically suitable but still not fit correctly in the battery compartment or have incorrectly positioned connections.
In this collection, you’ll find lithium batteries from specialized brands such as Shido, BS Battery, Power Thunder, and SuperB. The range varies from compact replacement batteries to powerful versions for motorcycles with higher starting demands. For several batteries, we directly specify the suitable motorcycle model and production year. For universally offered models, you should compare the technical specifications with the original battery.
A lithium motorcycle battery requires a different charging program than a traditional lead-acid or AGM battery. Therefore, use only a charger explicitly suitable for the specific type of lithium battery. Avoid a normal lead-acid charger with automatic desulfation unless the manufacturer clearly states that the lithium program used is compatible.
Also, check out our OptiMate battery chargers for chargers with a specific lithium or combined charging program. This way, you keep the battery in good condition during longer periods of inactivity and reduce the chance of starting problems when you want to ride again.
Check the motorcycle model, production year, battery compartment dimensions, terminal position, and specifications of the original battery. The same type designation does not automatically mean every battery has exactly the same dimensions or connections.
That is possible for many motorcycles, provided the lithium battery has the correct dimensions, connections, and sufficient starting power. Also, check whether the motorcycle’s charging system functions correctly and stays within the battery’s allowed charging voltage.
Only if the charger is explicitly suitable for lithium batteries. A charging program for lead-acid batteries may use functions that are not suitable for lithium technology.
No. Capacity is only one part of the choice. For a starter battery, starting power, dimensions, weight, terminal position, and compatibility with the motorcycle are also important.
