Title: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/27/12 at 17:33:58 I have just purchased a ultra small lithium battery that has the same output as the led ones. Suppose to be heaps lighter too but I am not concerned too much about that. Its the size Im interested in. I am going to fit it into my air box , so I can completely do away with the original batt box. This will enable me to finish installing the twin filters. I will post pics hopefully tomorrow if it arrives. Am interested to know if anyone else has used a lithium batt, and if so what do you think? |

Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by justin_o_guy2 on 11/27/12 at 18:29:13 I hadda look at a Milwaukee 1/4 drive Lithium Battery impact,, I wish I could tell ya the price, but I kinda went deaf.. I DO remember( I read the stock code to the lady at the computer from about 30 feet) I gave her the number & in a few seconds she said That impact retails for FIVE & I went deaf,, I didnt even wanna hear the rest. I woulda gone deaf if she had said THree,, Had she said TWO, my ears would kept working till th next number came out, had it been a 3 or under,, my ears woulda kept working,, If a tool price is gonna start with a 5 & its a 3 digit number, its gonna hafta be somethin I cant live without,, So,, Lithium = Expensive I guess.. HOw much was your itty bitty battree? |

Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/27/12 at 18:38:57 The Batt will fit nicely in the old air box. |

Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/27/12 at 18:44:17 I dont know if they have a longer life. I do know they are heaps lighter which in our Savages wont mean much. I racing bikes its the diference between winning and losing. All Im interested is its size. |

The only reason I am getting it is because it will fit into my air box allowing me to complete my twin filter mod. The batt I have now is only a year or so old, But I will use it in my other Savage project that I will start after Xmas. There are other ways to mod my bike using the current batt, But this is easy and all I should have to do is remove the old batt box.Well hopefully. |

When it arrives I will take pics and post prob on the twin filter post I previously started. Not taking the air box out till Lithium arrives, But I will pull the air box out and completely mod it. Prob cut open the top where the air intake is. Maybe open the front to install the batt. Right now Im parked for the night but will know more tomorrow. |

Title: Lithium Batt install Post by paulmarshall on 11/28/12 at 17:38:37 The Lithium Battery arrived today and can I say its increadibly light and small. |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt install Post by paulmarshall on 11/28/12 at 17:43:24 I was very surprised when it arrived. Alot of weight has been removed from my Savage, Old Batt and batt box. |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/28/12 at 17:49:34 Removed old battery and battery box. Removed air box and opened it up to check if Lithium would fit. |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/28/12 at 17:55:07 As you can see it fits real nice in the air box. Battery arrived late so thats it for today, But will carry on with pics tomorrow. |

Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by 360k+ on 11/28/12 at 19:09:13 What are the specs; i.e., rated voltage and cranking amps? Also, does it require a special charger (lithiums can explode if charged wrong). |

Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by Pine on 11/29/12 at 06:13:57 Almost wish i needed a new battery... ok almost.... |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by Gyrobob on 11/29/12 at 06:36:53 Those tiny batteries are quite the thing for cafe racers, a la RYCA because it is considered cool to have the area aft of the cylinder head as vacant as possible. On a bike like a RYCA, you can tuck the little thing up in the tailpiece or down underneath the forward part of the swingarm, take out the battery box, and have nothing but airspace between the tire and the air filter. |

Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/29/12 at 18:08:43 After removing the back of the air box i cut the top off. |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/29/12 at 18:14:10 I installed the rir box fitted the starter relay in the bottom and battery on top. |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/29/12 at 18:15:30 Another angle |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/29/12 at 18:20:49 I used a little packing that comes with the batt to support it.The packing comes so these little batts can fit into original spaces. |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/29/12 at 18:23:37 I then used 6 wire ties just in case the front of air box decided to come free. |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/29/12 at 18:26:00 It was at this point I noticed the left side cover is not sitting how I would like it to. |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/29/12 at 18:27:48 So I got to thinking I could rotate the bracket that holds the left side cover in place. |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/29/12 at 18:29:23 So I screwed it onto the air box. |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/29/12 at 18:30:40 So it went from this. |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/29/12 at 18:32:22 To this |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/29/12 at 18:34:44 Moved the rectifier from inside the air box where I had mod moved it to earlier to here. |
|
Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by paulmarshall on 11/29/12 at 18:39:45 So now its all finish.Plenty of room now for me to complete my twin air filter install. Which will be on my Twinn air filter post I started a week or so ago. |

Title: Re: Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow Post by MiCTLaN on 11/29/12 at 21:05:06 I really like the idea of rotating the side cover bracket... it's always sort of annoyed me that the side covers aren't symmetrical. I'm curious how well the new battery will hold up... I've been thinking about getting something similar so that I could move it to emissions shelf thingamabob and remove my battery box. |
