mine is still working awesome with the battery tender, and oh yeah its super light. glad to see more people trying them.
I've been using mine for a while now. I will say that the 14amp/hr equivalent isn't really accurate. I'd say around 7-8amp/hr would be closer to realistic. Very similar to a Deka EXT9 battery. My old 16amp/hr lead acid battery could last 2-3 days without a single worry and I would typically burn close to 10 gallons of gas while running a 800gph bilge pump the entire time I rode. Although I haven't actually killed this battery under any normal conditions... I will say that I will drain the battery voltage below the 50% mark with 3 gallons of gas and only turning on the bilge pump when I need it. I have killed the battery but that's when I ran out of gas and tried cranking a whole bunch of times just to get that last drop of fuel out of the tank instead of swimming. Plus I had to run the bilge pump for 30-45 minutes while I was swimming because my ski takes on water.

....i'm going to need to see before/after pics here. Not believing it (yet.)
Bumping this thread for new info... My Shorai battery is dead. Charged it up the other day without a problem and now it won't take a charge and shows about 9.4v (so dead). I just contacted Shorai about a warranty claim. Hopefully they'll do me right but after reading the warranty stipulations, it looks like they can weasel their way out of just about anything.

If I had to choose, I would go with the ballistic, only because I am familiar with their experience in cell tech.

hey waternut are you using the shoria charger? if so you need to ditch it and charge your shoria with a battery tender to bring it back up before the shoria will charge it. A couple guys have had this "problem' and its a simplle fix.
