LTX7A-BS Lithium Ion Battery

Upgrade your ride with the LTX7A-BS Lithium Ion battery — a lightweight, maintenance-free LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) power solution designed for quick, reliable starts. Built from lithium and carbon-based LiFePO4 cells, this battery contains no lead or acid, delivers strong cold-cranking performance, and significantly reduces weight compared to conventional lead-acid units. Ideal for riders who want dependability, faster engine starts, and a compact power source without the mess of traditional batteries.

Key specifications and performance

• Voltage: 12 V
• Capacity: 2.4 Ah
• Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): 150 A — provides robust starting power for most small- to mid-size motorcycles
• Recommended charging current: 1.5 A
• Weight: 0.62 kg — notably lighter than equivalent lead-acid batteries for improved handling and reduced overall bike weight
• Cell chemistry: LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) — stable, long-lived, and inherently safer than some other lithium chemistries

Dimensions

• Length: 150 mm
• Width: 87 mm
• Height: 93 mm

Performance highlights

• Fast, reliable engine starts even in cooler conditions thanks to a 150 A CCA rating.
• Maintenance-free operation — no acid, no topping up, and no corrosion from leakage.
• Lightweight construction improves bike balance and reduces carried mass for sportier handling.
• LiFePO4 chemistry offers excellent cycle life and thermal stability for long-term reliability.

Compatibility and installation

This LTX7A-BS battery is intended as a drop-in replacement for motorcycles that require the LTX7A-BS size and electrical specifications. Before installation, verify that the battery group size, terminal layout, and polarity match your motorcycle’s battery compartment and cable routing. Typical installation steps:

• Turn off ignition and remove the seat or access panel to reach the battery compartment.
• Disconnect the negative (–) terminal first, then the positive (+) terminal from the old battery.
• Remove the old battery and fit the LTX7A-BS into the battery tray, ensuring correct orientation and secure hold-down.
• Connect the positive (+) terminal first, then the negative (–) terminal. Tighten connections securely but avoid over-torquing.
• Use a charger or charging regime compatible with LiFePO4 chemistry; the battery’s recommended charging current is 1.5 A.

If you are unsure about fitment or terminal orientation, consult your motorcycle’s service manual or a qualified mechanic. Do not force the battery into a tray that is too small or requires terminal modifications.

Potential drawbacks and limitations

• Capacity is 2.4 Ah — adequate for starting and typical motorcycle electrical loads but smaller than higher-capacity batteries for extended accessory use.
• Requires adherence to LiFePO4 charging practices; using an incompatible charger or improper charging profile can reduce battery life.
• May not fit or be suitable for motorcycles that require a different battery group size, terminal position, or higher CCA ratings.

In short, the LTX7A-BS Lithium Ion battery offers a clean, lightweight, and dependable replacement for traditional lead-acid units, delivering quick starts and low maintenance for enthusiasts seeking improved performance and convenience. Confirm fit and charging compatibility for the best long-term results.
