Lithium Batt arrives tomorrow
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?

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?

Well its true. 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.
