Shido Lithium Motorcycle Battery - LTX14-BS LION

First impressions when you pick this up is its so light. must be 3+ kg lighter than the Pb battery! i don't have a tender and my last Yuasa battery lasted less than 6 months and let me down. This battery holds its charge much better. Easy starting so it seems to have good CCA. Really happy and the price is good to cap it off.

I've used Shido a few times and found them to be excellent, excellent charge retention, lots of cranking amps, and low weight. Very good price from SBS

Replacement battery- great advise from shop, very knowledgeable.
The battery is light as a feather, with amazing cranking power- turned bike over easily and hasn't been started for a year.
Also comes with 3 yr guarantee bonus

The Shido battery comes with press-in spacers that restore the dimensions of the original battery. Once in place the, the rubber retaining strap holds the new battery snuggly.

The Shido is a fraction of the weight, and seems to hold the charge better than the original.
Sportsbikeshop offered the best price, and when combined with fast despatch and great customer service the proposition is peerless.

Fitted like a dream to my BMW k1200s. Big weight saving over my old lead acid battery - over 3kg, but even better is the starting. Engine now spins FAST whatever the engine temp, and I can even confidently switch the engine off in traffic queues knowing that it will start at first press

Excellent product. Less than half the weight of the factory battery. Starts the engine each time. No dramas either it's cold or it's not used for long period. And the service from SPORTSBIKESHOP excellent as always. One day ordered it, next delivered

It is incredible how light this battery is while also how powerful. It spins over my BMW K1200S with no problem at all. Being located high up on the bike the weight saving is noticeable when flicking the bike from one side to the other too, which is great.
Overall a very good purchase.

Nice to see lithium batteries competitively priced against the lead acid types.
Lightweight, great spec and so far so good!

Quick delivery as usual from SBS!

The weight difference from this to a traditional battery is amazing, so much weight saved. Plus the boost in cracking amps is great. Swapping to this was painless and little display on the battery of charge level is great addition.

I have a good experience of lithium batteries driving voltage-critical instruments - they supply constant volts, even when getting depleted. But this is my first experience where cranking amps (CCA) is the important factor. The advertised CCA is well above that of the old lead-acid battery, and certainly first impressions are that the 1200 Boxer engine (BMW R1200S) spins over more eagerly than it did before.

I noticed that the bike started handling much better after I lost some weight (20lbs) a couple of years ago, so thought losing another 7lbs with a lighter battery couldn't hurt. Maybe wishful thinking, but I believe she is enjoying being that bit lighter.

The battery is smaller than the old one, but comes with spacers which you need to fill the compartment so the battery doesn't rattle about. And being very light, it was much easier to wiggle past the cables into position.

So far, I'm delighted with the new battery, and as always, great service from Sportsbike Shop.

I have had 2 of these Batteries now for both my Bikes & I cannot fault them.
Extremely light & easy to fit. Powerful cranking amps every time, Highly recommend a Optimate charger to go with it so your bike always ready to Go...

Really good - light and a good price

My first lithium battery, wow its so light it doesn't feel real. Instant power, great product with 3 year warranty, so much battery value for money that lead acid. Very please with this itme

Excellent Service and amazed at how light it is.

Amazingly light battery; saves 3kg against the standard battery fitted to my SV1000S.
Also relatively inexpensive compared to some other Li products. Excellent service from dealer too. No issues with starting and running this big V-twin.
