Author Message   Joebuell Posted on Sunday, April 15, 2012 - 08:30 pm:        hey , was needing a new batt for my 09 CR and decided to go with a shorai. but their battery finder shows nothing available when I use it for mt bike. Can anybody help wit a part number and a dealer ?   Nuts4mc Posted on Sunday, April 15, 2012 - 09:12 pm:        LFX18L1-BS12 Gotta have the "L1" in the part number for correct terminal (-) (+) orientation...they also build one with a "A1"...but the terminals are reversed 18AH battery with 220CCA...just got mine two weeks ago from racecrafters...it so small and light the mailman put it in the mailbox! see here: http://www.amazon.com/Lithium-Battery-LFX18L1-BS12 -Lightweight-Powerful/dp/B007B6VUHI   Sprintst Posted on Sunday, April 15, 2012 - 09:25 pm:        Call them my buddy replaced on his CR, and they actually put him into a battery with more cells (capacity) than is standard, since these are smaller   Boogiman1981 Posted on Sunday, April 15, 2012 - 09:37 pm:        The dealer finder is also good there are two stocking dealers in my town. Apparently the big one that fits our bikes also fits some pwc so you may find one in town   Rodrob Posted on Sunday, April 15, 2012 - 10:29 pm:        Call and ask for Shawn Higbee and tell him Crotchrocket.tv sent you.   Dhays1775 Posted on Sunday, April 15, 2012 - 10:40 pm:        i know it's not the same, but i've got a ballistic 12-cell in my cr. it weighs just a hair under 2 pounds and fires the bike every time. very quick to charge also. i could have gotten away with the 8-cell, but decided to go with the 12 for a little extra insurance. weight savings alone is worth every penny.   Boogiman1981 Posted on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 06:58 am:        i like Rob's answer the best.... let's support a grass roots buell racing team!!!   Sportster_mann Posted on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 11:02 am:        It's weird that the battery finder on the Shorai website is no longer working - everything was fine when I was nosing around earlier in the year ...   Nuts4mc Posted on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 11:21 am:        hey Rob! - S_mann is correct...what's up with the web site?...maybe Shawn wants us to buy the batteries from here: http://www.achristmasstoryhouse.com/higbees.shtml#   Joebuell Posted on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 07:59 pm:        just got off the phone with Shawn @ shorai. There is the above mentioned part which is physically smaller than the stock battery, and then the LFX21L6 which is the same size as the stock HD batt. do you have to shim in the smaller batteries with foam or something? ( you must, can't see it without) thanks   Nuts4mc Posted on Monday, April 16, 2012 - 11:06 pm:        Joe B- yes a bunch of assorted sizes come in the packaging- sticky stuff on the back - easy to cut with a pair of scissors...kinda like playing with legos
