Wich battery JOTA 1000?

wet cell batteries are in the 28-30 Ah range, often sold as Y60-N24AL-B 12V/28AH.
I've had a ? 30,00  18Ah AGM battery in the 3CL for the last 5 years and it's still going strong.
Haven't even bothered to replace the rectifier with a regulator.

Before the Redax/Sasche alternator conversion I used to use the biggest car battery that would fit and still had to push start the bloody thing occasionally.

Now I will fit either a DEKA or perhaps a SSB LiPo
 
Have just replaced a CBE C60N24L-A in my 81' Jota, with a SSB HVT-5 dry cell.
is smaller and 1.7 kilo's lighter. cost me $150 Aussie.
Has 425 CCA, 19 AH, spins the motor well and fires quickly.
I haven't had it long enough to say any more.

I'll wait for technology to catch up with the claims before getting a Lithium.

Hope it helps, cheers.
 
I put a Motobatt MBTX12U into the SF1 a few weeks ago, and I've been using the bike a lot. So far, so good. At less than ?50 it seemed to be worth a try.

Davo, I have fitted a DEKA ETX 18 L  cca 340 in my 82 jota ,has been in fairly constant use for 2 years now & is a good fit. It leaves plenty of space for a handy sized tool kit alongside it as well.I`ve found over the last 10 years that leaving a trickle charger on all the time has really improved the longevity of my bike batteries.

Yep, got the same battery in my Le Mans, hasn't missed a beat in 2 years.
 
Got the same Deka in my Bevel Ducati. I haven't had the bike registered for a couple of years (too bloody expensive to register everything in the garage) so the battery just sits there most of the time. I give it a day or so on a trickle charger every few months, then start the bike and let it warm up. Occasionally I'll sneak it out for a quick jaunt around my neighbourhood. It usually takes a bit of cranking to start the bike after it's been sitting a couple of months (stale fuel I guess). The battery is about 7 years old now and still manages to start the bike.
 
Since the old Motobatt in my Jota died the other day, I've been looking at alternatives. Not that I'm unhappy with Motobatt (it stood up to about 6 or 7 years of abuse) but I'm just looking to see what's available now. The lithium batteries pack a lot of grunt in a small package.

As a comparison:
Motobatt MBTX14AU (which is what I had) - 190 CCA, weight 5kg. Price $110
SSB LH5L-BS Lithium - 220 CCA, 0.6 kg and is only 15% of the volume of the above Motobatt  :o  Price $127

If I wanted to go for something bigger, a "big" lithium batery is still only about half the size of the Motobatt but delivers 700 CCA - enough to start a Diesel truck!. But it's around $400

I reckon I'll try one of the little lithium batteries.

and they have a little bonus, once they get hot they deliver more cca, unlike a acid or gel battery which delivers less, were running a few up here on the jota, anno and zane S, their shorais, zane has a 14 and the 3cl are running 18s, no dramas, theire just light and small and about $190, don't see why the ssbs would be any different, soooooo light, the one in the S weighs 700gm, replacing the odyssey 680 that weighed 7KG  :o
 
buy my batteries from Battery Mart in Sydney
just bought 2 x Lithium batteries from them few weeks ago, SSB Power Sport
unbelievable how light those Lithium batteries are and turned over DR's big bore high comp Jota no worries at all

will keep using them just for the weight saving alone, come in at a beefy 800 grams FFS  :o
