These batterys are very heavy but they have a good output. There has to be some lighter more compact battery that can work that could save 4-5 lbs. What about the new OUTY battery, How big is that and would it work? I know some guys are running smaller batterys, But can they push a nos system and not have to be jumped? Anyone have any ideas?

 

try putting a solar panel on your helmet, you can get them paper thin and with enough of them you might be able to run it without a battery.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

these battery maybe be heavy but its the best atv battery i have ever had i still have the origanal battery from 2000 and its still going strong my brothers battery in his 2004 400ex has been changed out 2 times already and we also own a 250ex it has also been changed out 2 times.

 

I am not to sure about the outy batteries but if they can start up an 800 v twin with efi I am sure they could push a ds650 with nos but I dunno if it'll fit in the stock bracket but I am sure you can fix that...The only way you could lose some weight is drain the cells down less but then you won't be holding as great of a charge...I think you are better off just keeping the one you have.

 

Well, all that responded to my question thanks for the help. Sincerely I appreciate it.


BUT, To the guys who didnt want to help and have light batteries that were trying to be sneaky[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img], I found a battery half, maybe a QUARTER the weight of stock that cranks the LIVING HECK out of my high comp motor. Just to test her to see how she charges on the ds, I put it on the charger to see where the amps read. I then put it on the ds to see if the bike would charge it. I started it up, let it idle for about 8 mins (reved her a few). I then read the battery again and she went up showing that it charged by the bike.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Nice Mario. What was the weight savings?

 

I have to get it on the scale. Its half the weight of my stocker EASILY! I will weigh it and get exact #s. Its strickly for drag racing bikes imo. The place I got it filled it with fluid and capped it up. Im a little concerned about that but I dont hit whoops or anything anyhow. I just could believe it turned the bike over like it did. Ive been testing other small battery and none hold a candle. This one is got me excited.

 

Nice, Let us know what you find out.

 

You know ill just call you and tell ya where to get it cuuuz. Unless your running a light ninja battery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
