I have a turntech has worked pretty well and lasted awhile. But I hear it may be shot now. They don't like being jump started. Even says in the brochure

i use the turntech. been using for 6 months now, in extreme cold and it starts my bike easily, only when the bike is real hot it rolls slow. i should have got the bigger one.

I have run Ballistic for two race seasons now. I have had good luck with them with no failures.

i have an anti gravity and love it, i expected it to die on me last week (i was having a hard time getting it started, stupid choke) still works like new i have had it a few months.

Not much time on my Anti-gravity either, but so far so good!

went to a motobat gelcell YTZ7S. there HDPE casing is way more durable as well.

They crank way harder than stock and even better than the shorai ! Shorai would hold on for a long time but wasnt as fast at cranking as i expected from the CCA rating.....

as for the weight difference, LOL visit the can before racing !

I run a Ballistic EVO2 and its small,light and cranks 2x as hard as stock. No problems with it after 9 months.

I was looking at getting an anti-gravity. Should I be getting their charger/maintainer as well? Or is the regular old 1.25 trickle charger I've been using in the past be ok for the lithium battery?

you need to use the one they sell with the anti-gravity battery otherwise it will burn it up.
