LTZ8V | YTZ8V  Lithium Ion Batterij

Introduction

The LTZ8V is a compact LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) motorcycle battery engineered for reliable, powerful starts without lead or acid. Its lightweight construction and small footprint make it an ideal upgrade or replacement for motorcycles where weight savings and dependable cranking power matter. With 12V nominal voltage, 4.5 Ah capacity and 270 CCA, this battery delivers strong, fast starts while reducing bulk compared to traditional lead-acid alternatives.

Specifications and Performance

• Chemistry: LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate)
• Voltage: 12 V
• Capacity: 4.5 Ah
• Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): 270 A — gives robust starting power for most small to mid-size motorcycles
• Charging Current: 2.5 A (recommended charging parameter as provided)
• Dimensions: Length 113 mm × Width 69 mm × Height 105 mm
• Weight: 0.88 kg — significantly lighter than comparable lead-acid batteries

Performance highlights:

• High CCA relative to its weight and size ensures confident engine cranking.
• LiFePO4 chemistry provides a safer, more stable cell construction compared with lead-acid—no acid or lead handling required.
• Compact, lightweight form factor helps lower overall bike weight and improves handling.

Potential drawbacks and limitations:

• Ensure physical dimensions and terminal orientation match your motorcycle—this compact battery may not fit every battery tray without adapters or brackets.
• Requires charging that is compatible with LiFePO4 chemistry; using an incompatible charger designed only for lead-acid batteries can reduce battery life or cause charging issues.

Compatibility and Installation

The LTZ8V is suitable for motorcycles that use a 12 V battery and can accommodate a 113 × 69 × 105 mm battery footprint. Before purchase, verify the following:

• Battery tray dimensions and mounting points match the LTZ8V physical size or can accept minor adjustments (brackets or spacers).
• Terminal type and polarity align with your motorcycle’s wiring—if not, an appropriate adapter or terminal conversion may be required.
• Charging system and battery charger are compatible with LiFePO4 batteries (use a LiFePO4-specific charger or a charger with a LiFePO4 setting).

Basic installation guidance:

• Turn off the ignition and any electrical loads before beginning.
• Place the LTZ8V securely in the battery tray and fasten with the OEM hold-down or appropriate bracket to prevent movement.
• Connect the positive (+) terminal first, then the negative (–) terminal. Ensure clean, tight connections and correct polarity.
• After installation, confirm the charging system is functioning correctly with a LiFePO4-compatible charger and check for secure mounting and proper cable routing.

With its LiFePO4 technology, compact dimensions and 270 CCA output, the LTZ8V offers motorcycle enthusiasts a lightweight, performance-oriented alternative to conventional lead-acid batteries—delivering dependable starts and easier handling when properly matched to the bike and charging system.
