Just to add to this....... I have a Shorai and have plugged in my phone over night... The bike started no problem the next day and the cell phone was 100%... Also, there have been several times I've left the Baja S2's on for several hours, when I got back to the bike it fired right up like normal.. The BAJA LED lights pull a lot more power than anyone's cell phone... Just last weekend we showed up the first night at camp in the dark.... I just flipped on the BAJA lights and set up camp... didn't even think about the battery...... So far this thing ROCKS....snakebitten said:This thread has done a 180 on me.
Early on it revealed why I would NOT change to this battery. A battery is just something I don't want to NEED to know anything about.
Adding a "process" in cold weather turned me completely off.
But now I find out that this technology actually holds its charge better over time?
Ok, that changes things.
So I got to thinking, with lead acid and camping, I'm reluctant to charge cell phones or tablets overnight with the motorcycle battery. God forbid I'm in a tent in some remote location. But, are you saying it would actually be a good thing to charge a phone on a cold night? It would HELP the battery do it's primary job of starting the bike!
Is this flawed thinking?
By the way, I have forgotten I left the cell phone on charge overnight and the lead acid oem battery was fine. But, it wasn't that cold.
