Battery brand and type???

[Moparnut72]

I am looking at batteries, not that I really need one. It's just that my bike has a hard time starting when it is cold. I ride year around and live where it gets cold. I don't ride much when it is below freezing but above I do.  Some mornings my bike really struggles to even turn over and in warm weather doesn't exactly spin over quickly.  Slim S with the 110 motor. So I have been trying to find a battery with more cranking amps. It seems the the lithium batteries, ion or Iron, meet this requirement. However the reviews of both of these are very negative when it comes to cold weather. So I guess lithium batteries are out. A bigger lead acid would be ideal but the battery compartment on this bike is kinda small. Any comments?

Lithium Iron for motorcycles.
From trucks link..............."The lithium-iron battery has superior chemical and thermal stability."

"The battery problem is because there is not much virgin lead anymore in the USA."
There is no battery problem. millions of cars have them and they last 6 years on average. As for motorcycles, use the lead for fishing anchors, I'm sold on Lithium Iron.

Yep.
