Battery tricklers

[Cantab]

If you'd ever had a Brit bike from back in the 60s with Lucas electrics, you'd never complain about today's motorcyle electric gremlins. And I'm just talking about basics like lights, horn and ignition back then. My 66 Triumph T100SC that I rode in 1967 didn't even have a battery and all electrical ran off of the magneto. A great bike, and reportedly one of Steve McQueen's favorites. Note, stock photo below, mine was never that clean

'Lucas electrics'......Prince of darkness

I used to use one before I fitted a lithium battery. With the Li battery I can leave the bike for weeks (I was off the bike for 2+ months last year after knee replacement surgery) without connecting a charger and it’ll fire right up.

A good LiFe battery is a game changer for the S10. My only regret is I didn't switched earlier.
