SpeedCell Batteries
Do any of you guys have a long term report on these batteries?
I'm curious about the expected life under normal conditions, such as how many start-charge and discharge cycles they will endure, as compared to a lead acid or asgm battery.

1000 charge to dead cycles.
They handle total discharge much better than lead acid.
In fact they were designed for this initially. AMA superbikes on the factory yamaha and ducati team are using total loss systems, with the Speedcell batteries.
No alternators, no trickle chargers, these things like 20-50 amp charge for 15 to 20 min full charge.
do I sound like a broken record yet? sure feels like it.

That's good, but will they tolerate normal charging, as in alternator systems?
I know that Nicads don't like that, as they need to be discharged fully before charging in order to get most life.
Can you check shipping cost to Thailand, post code 67000?
Thanks
