Rather than sealing the battery electrolyte directly, the electrolyte is absorbed into fiberglass, and that fiber is sandwiched between high-purity, high-quality lead plates and sealed. Even when intense G-forces (acceleration) are applied laterally, no problems occur. <br>Using this structure, racing cars, aircraft, and even jet fighter aircraft are equipped with this battery design, and as long as it&#8217;s not upside down, it can be installed without sacrificing performance. <br>Because the battery case is designed with AGM structure, it never leaks electrolyte. Additionally, gas generated during charging is liquefied without being vented externally and remains inside the case, achieving a long service life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sorry for the copy-paste, but the overall impression is that it&#8217;s very durable. I think the reliability is very high. <br>Previously we used the higher-spec Platinum series, but because the terminal shape is special, we don&#8217;t carry it at Decoboco anymore. <br>*The type shown in the image is recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 One-year warranty <br>\u2022 Electrolyte absorbed into fiberglass. <br>\u2022 Can convert open-type batteries directly to MF. <br>\u2022 Price somewhat high <br> \u2022 So far, zero return rate (no failures right away) <br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.garuda.ws\/mkbattery\/mkbattery.html\">You can check compatibility on the Garuda HP. <\/a><br>Since they&#8217;re marketed for foreign vehicles, please check the part number carefully before selecting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"425\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/41ULPl289kL._SX425_.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/41ULPl289kL._SX425_.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/41ULPl289kL._SX425_-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/36QdExc\">Shorai Battery<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think of them as pioneers in treating batteries as a custom parts element. <br><br>\u2022 Three-year warranty (with discount option) <br>\u2022 Super lightweight <br>\u2022 Abundant sizes available; you can aim for higher Ah capacity. <br>\u2022 Requires a dedicated charger <br>\u2022 Your bike&#8217;s charging system needs to be in good condition. <br> \u2022 So far, zero return rate (no failures right away) <br>\u2022 Easy to get <br>\u2022 Somewhat expensive <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the environment is set up properly, I&#8217;ve never seen any problems. <br>Personally, I think it&#8217;s a highly reliable battery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cbIs your current battery open-type or MF? <br>\u25cbWhat&#8217;s the maximum output voltage? <br>\u25cbDo you care about weight? <br>\u25cbWhat&#8217;s your budget? <br><br>You can choose based on these factors. <br>I&#8217;ve listed three, but that doesn&#8217;t mean one is the best. <br><br>That&#8217;s probably why it&#8217;s so hard to decide, but you should definitely avoid batteries with high return rates. <br><br>*If you think &#8220;I can just return it&#8221; and install a cheap one, then &#8220;pssst!&#8221; at the top of a mountain pass&#8230; <br><br>You&#8217;ll have to call a tow truck, and the time and hassle of returns is a real pain. <br>And honestly, even if you got another battery with such a high return (failure) rate, wouldn&#8217;t you be frustrated? <br><br>A battery is infrastructure that should just work, so let&#8217;s make sure you get something truly reliable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s getting cold, isn&#8217;t it?
