Default Light Weight Battery...

Seen this pop up in a couple of other forums.... thought I'd bring it up here too.

http://www.motowheels.com/italian/myProducts.cfm?parentcategoryid=915|Batteries%20an d%20Battery%20Accessories&productID=6814&showDetai l=1&categoryID=915|Batteries%20and%20Battery%20Acc essories&vendoridtodisplay=0&filterFor=&collection =

The new incredible superlight Speedcell battery that produces 1.8 amps per gram of weight.
The SBK battery is a 240 Amp Battery, weighs 1.7 lbs.
It's durable: 1% total capacity loss with stop loss at 2% so it never drains down to zero.
No maintenance: The battery does not need to be on a trickle charger. If it ever needs re-charging, just use any 5amp or higher charger.
Safe: These packs are made using A123 cells. The constructions process is proprietary & these packs do not require balancing. The packs are built for motorcycle applications w/ cylindrical cells due to there robust construction & discharge properties. Each PACK is made to a DoD standard, capable of withstanding 100G load, operating temperatures of -50*C to 49*C (-58*F to 120*F). It is important to understand that these packs are NOT RC hobby type packs & their internal construction as well as cell grade reflects this. Each cell is individually tested before it makes it to the construction phase. These packs are not Lithium ION construction. Speedcell uses Lithium Ferrous cells that are not volatile or unstable. They will not rupture when puncture nor produce an energy chain
SUPERBIKE Specs:

- Pulse discharge @ 10 seconds = 240 Amps
- Continuous discharge (MAX) = 140 Amps
- Cycle Life (DoD spec) = 1,000 cycles

- Dimensions = 10.5cm (L) x 5cm (W) / 4.13" (L) x 1.96" (W)
- Weight = 766.57g / 1.69lbs
- Rating = 4.6Ah
- Applications = 750cc to 1400cc w/ stator

Default Re: Light Weight Battery...

My current battery is 230 CCA and 11.3 aH, somehow I don't think 140 CA and 4.6aH is going to even turn over my bike.
