Which Battery? Li-Iron? Favs, experiences?

Run mostly the Shorai batteries. Also have a couple of Ballistics. I'm told the latest have built in cell leveling in their charging, which they needed. I've bought the specific rechargers for mine, which I recommend IF whatever you buy doesn't come with it. Good luck...

Can someone recommend an affordable battery? (less than $100 would be nice) I replaced it once with an Yuasa, but I'm have trouble finding which one now. Supposedly, they don't make one for a 2013 hyperstrada any longer? I have a feeling their website is wrong, but I'd like to confirm. Or alternatively, get another recommendation. Thanks in advance!

Looks like I ordered a YT12B-BS before which seemed to work fine. Now, Yuasa website indicates they don't make a battery that fits the 2013 hyperstrda. Amazon states that the YT12B-BS won't fit.

Help?

I'm thinking of ordering this HICAP wiring kit though. At least before winter returns.

I just put one of these in my HS yesterday.

It was the only one my local bike shop had available that fit. And it fits perfectly fine.

Or I might just source the wire and connectors and DIY something similar.
I used very similar OFC wire for the starter circuit on an old truck from 1967 that was a total bitch to start in cold weather with amazing results. Said truck turned over 1st try and started in the cold every time after the change. Dramatic improvement compared to how it was before.
