Shorai Lithium Carbon Fiber Battery

[rumlesj1]

very nice post!! thats exactly what it seems like, it just doesnt roll over fast enough. if just replacing the battery will do the trick i have no problem spending the 110 bux on a battery, especially if it weighs 4 pounds less!!

i had the same problem, the problem is the starter is reving fast enought below 300rpm when cold....as soon as the rpm reach the 300rpm+ the cdi fires and it is ok!!!

what i did....
i open and clear the starter with break cleaner (super easy, 30min job)and goes a bit faster

when you put the atv to rest!!!put a tierap on the clutch lever for the night...the clutch wont be dragging even on neutral so it WILL rev faster (over the 300rpm)limit
i also convert my 24v setup to 2x12v setup for the winter (act like a bigger battery, but does NOT rev faster)
last question i have...at what rpm does the dirt bike (no sarter)cdi fires???that might be THE solution
can we modify the stock decompressor to be more "aggressive"

here are some other litium batteries from CV4, much much more expensive though.

Just ordered the 210cca today from Alba Racing, hopefully I'll get it by the end of this week, the Yuasa I have hasnt been keeping a charge.

Its the stock cdi box that drains the battery while the bike is shut off, since I've installed the vortex cdi I havnt had a problem with it going dead

I had problems with the Yuasa from the get go. Thats why I made a jumper cable to hook up the old battery aswell to fire it up when it had not been fired up for a week or so. Unfortunetly the stock battery died and the yuasa has not kept a charge off the bike and down here where I live it's miserable hot, even garaged and out of the sun it doesn't help. Either way, good info, I'll probably just pop off the hood and disconnect the CDI and see if that helps.

i have had one for several months and love it!! No more charging battery before every race weekend, even left key on overnight and it started.

i have no probllems in the summer time with starting, well except when the motor is heated up sometimes i hit the starter and it wont turn so i gotta hit it a second time before it starts to roll over, my problem is in the winter, the stock battery even at full charge doesnt have the CCA to roll the engine over fast enough

Just go with bigger battery. I race in winter. with the stock'er I could never fire it up in winter. But with the new batter with bigger CCA there is no issue ...

I replaced the stock battery box with my own home made aluminum box and run a yuasa yt12b-bs battery. I think it is about 230 cca [not sure] and I have absolutely no starting problems in 20 degree weather. 613 with 13.5-1 compression.

so it fit with no problems? which one did you get the 135cca or the 210cca?

[sandshredder]

was just gonna order one,the closest dealer to me is 800kms away and they told me they wont have them for 6 to 8 weeks

where were you looking? try cyclebuy.com if you havent already got one. i talked to them at a race back in june and they had these there. very cool and crazy light!!

[rroger16]

I got the 210cc, fits fine.

when i use jumper cables on mine, (i have to remove the plastics which suc!! ) it will fire up on the first roll.. but if no jumper cables then no start.. really anooying.

are you talking about the stock battery or the shoria?

[ktmchris]

Big difference! Definitely worth getting. Started the quad of the first turn

How are Shoria batteries lasting? My company has done some research on lithium iron phosphate batteries like Shorai, and these type batteries need a battery management system to balance the charge of the cells. I looked into the Shorai, but can not believe that it does not have a battery management system! They want you to buy their extra charger to balance the cells. Your vehicle charges the battery, so what good is the balancing charger that sits in your garage? It just seems dumb.

the shoria battery works great soo far. i cant help out in telling you guys the difference of cranking power because when i installed the shoria batt, i installed a 24v system. but the quad fires as soon as i hit the button. the weight and size of the battery is what suprized me the most. it is way smaller but the battery comes with sizing foam for inside the batt box. after about 10 hours of usage and sitting while i was working on the quad for a couple weeks i hooked up a battery tender for shits and gigs and it said it was fully charged. so far 100% satisfied with the battery... other than the price tag of 140$

I have had the shoria 210cc 1 year now no problems.570.For you guys having problems needing to jump all the time what I did when I had this problem is put a wire off the relay about 6 inchs long to a stud under fender.Now it takes 2 second to jump if needed.
