I guess my posts above must be "ghosted" or a figment of my imagination! Before any accident befalls someone reading this thread..
Only consider fitting a LiFePO4 battery or safer technology if/when it becomes available. IF you do decide to fit a lithium battery to your sickle, then it is
imperative that you monitor the battery voltage - just like back in the old days but much more so. It is crucial that regulator/rectifier doesn't over voltage the battery (>14.8V). Additionally, an under voltage from sitting unused (will vary but 8-10V) will effectively make the battery useless.
A simple voltmeter connected direct to the battery is all that is required and some can be unobtrusive these days. See my two examples below of the same type of meter added to previous 'bikes.
