When it's time to replace your motorcycle battery, you have several different options. Batteries Plus carries flooded, AGM and lithium motorcycle batteries. Today, we'll be taking a closer look at your replacement battery options and highlighting which battery offers the best overall performance and which offers the best upfront cost.
In terms of performance, lithium motorcycle batteries have a number of advantages over lead acid batteries.
While lithium batteries offer a superior performance, they do cost more than a flooded or AGM lead acid battery. The higher upfront cost can be a bit misleading though when you break things down. Lithium batteries have much longer lifespans than lead acid batteries. Since you won't be replacing them as often, most bikers end up saving money in the long run with a lithium battery.
One other disadvantage lithium batteries have is that they can't be charged in temperatures below 32℉. Doing so, can cause lithium plating, which can damage a lithium battery irreparably. Fortunately, this doesn't really impact bikers, since it's unlikely you would be driving your motorcycle in freezing weather, but it is something you should take into consideration.
Batteries Plus' exclusive X2Power lithium powersport batteries are the best-performing motorcycle battery on the market. They feature an integrated Battery Management System that actively monitors and reacts to protect against overcharging, low voltage, over-current discharge, short circuits and extreme temperatures. Plus, they're backed up by a 3-year limited replacement warranty. Shop X2Power batteries online or at your nearest Batteries Plus location. Want to learn more?
