Motorcycle batteries, Lithium, AGM, Lead, Lithion Ion, nuclear, etc.

I've had 2 Odyssey batteries in a row leak acid on my V11, I'm skeptical of laying them on their side now.......  Yes, I use and Odyssey brand battery tender.

I'm surprised, did you contact Odyssey?  The 545 in my Daytona is on it's side and no problems in 10 years.

I've got one of those batteries too.  I used a Harbor Freight charger, typically it registers at 13.7 v

the DiLithium Crystal batteries won't be available for 350 years, so I went with AGM.

I sell lithium lead acid replacement batteries, but when it came time to change the battery  in my BMW GS I went with sealed lead acid.  The reason is that SLAs tend to degrade gracefully.  Lithium has a circuit board that disconnects the battery abruptly when it thinks there is a danger.    Less likely to be caught with my pants down with SLA.
