    Just a short note to mention that I am very impressed with a product I found here in Aus.
    I don't sell them, just think they are a good value for money product.


    I had starting trouble with my original lead-acid battery in my TE449, fully charged & in good condition, it would sometimes loose the tripmeter & clock readings while cranking over & had issues winding through the compression stroke if the engine stalled.

    I did a bit of calling around & was impressed with the SSB brand.
    They don't make a fuss of it on their web-page, but they also have an inbuilt management system so they can be treated like a lead-acid in all respects as far a charging & use.
    Plus, they have a big increase in Cold Cranking Amps and a decrease in weight.
    Also they offer a 24 month full replacement warranty.

    The TE size lead acid is around 1.5 kg, the SSB is 0.6kg!!
    Lead acid CCA = 130, SSB CCA = 220.

    I have had mine now for nearly 12 months with no issues.
    I don't run a trickle charger, but the bike starts as normal after as much as 5 weeks when I've been away for work.

    Check them out if you are after a well priced light-weight battery in Aus.

    Yer maw !
    Thanks DM, I do sell them, I too don't make a fuss about it, margins are tiny, I just like the product.
    2yr no quibble warranty, can be run flat and will come back (unlike valve controlled SLA (AGM) and 100% organic and very very safe.
    Weight is much like an iPhone, very light.
    I don't put mine on tender, it has 220cca and throws plenty into a wr450f that it'll start,on comp stroke(normally they won't start like this) .
    2yr+ shelf life ! :)

    Motobatt are another brand we see here in oz, never tried them though.
