Killed my battery by leaving it on a trickle charger on float charge about 6 mos. ago. I haven't been riding the Duc that much. Boiled all the water out. Just got tired of the crap batteries, so I looked into the LiFEPO4.

I bought this one... the Ballistic 8 Cell from these guys:

The 8 Cell. Sorry no install photos yet.

Super lightweight. Cranks the bike over better too. Had it since January and as claimed no need for a charger to keep the voltage up.

They posted a pic of my bike in the project bike gallery.

Best of all I like the Ducati Red...

okay tell me more about that headlight mod'?..................................please

Very nice in that Ducati's red
I have bought an Odyssey PC535 on February.
No need of any charge from, in spite of I seldom ride my bikes.
I would be curious about a comparison between.

Hi Pencilbeam,

do you need the charger from them and how harmfull/sensitiv are these battery for draining deep?

Bertus

Pencilbeam, this is convincing.
now to get one to the Netherlands is the next thing.
I've been looking for LiFePo4 batteries in Holland and found out the prices are double than yours. That's simply not justfying the benefits.
good old lead/acid in AGM technology will be the next best solution.
Varta announces 260 Amp as CCA value for the AGM battery suitable for the 907.

Hi G.

the whole range from 750 Paso up to latest 907's use the same battery.
IMO there isn't much difference between Yuasa and Varta in price and performance. generel price in Holland is € 130 to € 140 and 260/270 CCA, weight is about 6 kg.
looking at the 12 cel Sycl battery, they're talking about 440 Amp CCA, the weight is 1.1 kg and $ 190 is about € 132 . this had to be added with shipping costs.
the Ballistic is still interesting for my.

Bertus

G.
as I haven't personally checked the dimensions of battery tray, you must be right. there must also a difference between the innerfender of a 907 to hold the big P7 ECU and the 906, which uses the small MM ignition module.
Are there 3 different versions of the inner fender?

Tomorrow I check the dimensions carefully for a 12 cel Ballistic. I've sent an information request this afternoon and the reply came within 2 hours.
They have no dealers in Germany of the Netherlands, but do regular shipping at an estimated cost of $ 45. I already got a $ 10 bonus to overcome the shipping charge.
it's very tempting to make this deal.
