Custom/Hybrid Ballistic evo 12 cell alternative?

[sharkcus]

So it looks like Ballistic has shut their doors. The largest battery I can fit in my tray is 5" x 4.5" x whatever high. I am left with two options, that I know of. (not moving tray)

1. https://www.amazon.com/FirePower-Fe...ords=490-2501&qid=1553966148&s=gateway&sr=8-1
People have used it and even with bilge pump, it's been okay. But 150CCA is still 150CCA.
It's also $75

2. The EVO2 104-013 which is 4.5(L) x 3.5(w) and is 240CCA.

$230.

I would buy a ballistic battery, but the company is gone and nobody is going to honor a warranty. Have you guys heard of any other battery that will fit in my 5"x 4.5" hole? heh....

Oh. Wait. I think I can just use an AGM battery on it's side. :/

Looks like this is a pretty solid alternative with the same footprint as the ballistic. + 5 year warranty!

14AH at only 1.5lbs is pretty impressive. Should last you a few trips to the lake.

Yeah. Just bought the one I linked (shorai). I'll post a review once I have a few rides on it. Not too at at $200 including charger.

I have had a AutoCraft Lithium Power Sport battery from advance auto. I used a 20%off coupon code and the warranty is a year. Just like being about to return it locally if needed. I'm going on year 3. Might want to look at them also

Ballistic wouldn't have warrantied their battery anyway, no big loss.

A few of us guys in Tampa are using these with success, after riding for the day it still shows 13.20 with the LFP-4 on TL. Are you running the larger LFP-7 with the 4 terminals? 3 yrs and still good on TL or oem charging system?

I'm using the OEM charging stuff. Unless I leave the bilge pump on when hanging out to long,. But the time I did do that I jumped it and was good to go the rest of the day. Then pulled it that night to charge it over night. I'm pretty sure it's a LFP-4

3 yrs on a Lithium battery running on a charging system impressive considering past posts on here from what I've seen !
