How to Install the XS Power Titan8 Battery on a 2023.5-Up CVO or 2024-Up Road Glide & Street Glide!

[@seanlee2650]

I put this battery in my 2015 Ultra limited last year and its been great. I run 2 800 watt amps on mids and highs, plus I have the PPI subs in each bag which are 300 watts each and I run led under carriage lights and this thing handles it like a champ. It cranks the engine like no other as well. I have been more than happy with it.

Thank you!

A normal charging device such a Harleys one, can maintain & charge that battery?

[@volunteeraudio]

Yes it can, to get the longest life I recommend using a tender that has a lithium setting

[@timnevitt2993]

yes i have notice that the new bikes are voltage sensitive

[@volunteeraudio]

Very

[@jeffphillips2270]

I have charged my Titan 8 with the normal agm battery tender and it took battery up to 14.2 volts. If i used the lithium charger would that not take it up even higher? The manual says 100% charged is 13.6 and not to exceed this votage. Would this not damage the battery?

[@volunteeraudio]

Your battery will always be higher in voltage right after charge but will level out to the stated voltage

[@extremebaggers7817]

Why would you take the positive off first and leave everything grounded?

[@volunteeraudio]

Why not, either way you are breaking the circuit

[@hdryderct]

So what's the deal? Are lithium batteries better or worse for bikes specifically with audio systems installed? Friend of mine picked up a Lithium battery and was told that the AGM battery was better.

[@volunteeraudio]

Good lithium battery’s are much better but also expensive, the titan8 tech is the best lithium tech out there

[@hdryderct]

@@volunteeraudio I get it but "good" is subjective. You could have a good battery at a cost that isn't what Titan8 is selling theirs for. The question I had specifically though is in regards to lithium in general vs. the stock AGM batteries. Her audio person told her that the AGM battery was better than lithium as a whole.

[@twowheelstechgarage]

Jay do you have to do a warm-up time with the key on and wait for a while for the lithium batteries to warm up before you could start the bike all the videos I seen on lithium batteries i.e. the Harley bat and stuff they say that you have to have the key on for a few minutes to warm up the battery before you can even start the bike and the videos show that they have to do several attempts and it cranks over very slowand sometimes don’t even start off the lithium battery. Does these batteries start like a normal battery? You just turn the key on and hit the start button without warm-up time.

[@seanlee2650]

I have this battery and it does not require any warm up. It cranks like a CHAMP right away every time. Just turn the key and hit the start button.

[@volunteeraudio]

Only time you may need warm up is below freezing

[@extremebaggers7817]

I’m assuming it’s because you pulled main fuse but still. Was always taught to disconnect ground first.

[@volunteeraudio]

They teach ground because it will not arc if it contacts metal, either way gives the same result

Stock AGM battery is 30ah Titan Reserve - Ah Pb Eq 60 (10ah actual) Titan Power - Ah Pb Eq - 30 (10ah actual) This would work out to 2x and 1x useable capacity. How did you get to 4x and 8x capacity ?

[@volunteeraudio]

The stock battery claims 400 cca but tests at 330, claims 28 ah also but is closer to 20, the ah ph eq number is the correct number to compare between the batteries, the titan 8 batteries recharge extremely fast, rest at a higher voltage and have way higher cranking amps, this is how we come up with these numbers. Lithium phosphate recharge at 3-4 times faster than agm, lithium titanate recharges are 3-4 times faster than lithium phosphate

[@johnfish3552]

@@volunteeraudiocharging speed sure. Still does not workout to either 4-8x capacity

[@travisgray3331]

is the factory charging system able to maintain and charge the Titan 8?

[@volunteeraudio]

Absolutely

[@Yeetsforthestreets]

Hey Jay, Would Harleys tender/charger work fine with these? (They do have a lithium setting.) With the claimed life and cost, do these batteries have a warranty?

[@volunteeraudio]

Yes you should use a battery tender and the lithium setting will give you the longest life from the battery, xs power warranties all their lithium batteries for 1 year. Even though they will last way past 1 year lithium batteries are not meant to be fully discharged and if repeatedly fully discharged you can damage the battery from abuse so they give a 1 year warranty

[@user-ob4nd6or1p]

Why won’t this battery fit the 2023 Road Glide Limited?

[@volunteeraudio]

It does

[@MaxJW-ln4xm]

Cost of each ???

[@volunteeraudio]

We added links in the description to each

[@norsmanadventures]

Would I have an issue starting with this battery if I stayed in a hotel and left the bike outside in let’s say 30 degrees?

[@norsmanadventures]

Would the 24’ road glide potentially overcharge the lithium battery while riding all day?

[@volunteeraudio]

@@norsmanadventures no, the voltage regulator controls charging
