My lead acid original Interceptor Battery lasted about 3 yrs, I am in Thailand, I asked RE dealership how much for new, they replied 3,000baht(85usd about). I got a made in thailand 12v 12ah equivalent from Lazada for 700baht(20usd) included shipping.😃

I only got a few months out of my original. You are lucky. So far the lithium is holding up.

Where can you find those spacers?

[@OakInch]

They come in the box with the battery.

So many mixed reviews on this battery... some reporting not lasting long... How is it working for you so far?

[@OakInch]

Seems okay so far. There have only been a few days warm enough to ride. It has been on the charger the whole time to keep it conditioned. I am told lithiums are not great in the winter if you do not keep them on a tender. It turns out the Walmart battery I had been using was still going strong. My issues were related to the cold and bad gas. If this one fails, I will post a follow up.

osam dude but it's sad for us in India there r not such things in here till date, but i have a question do we have to charge the battery everytime or the bike's charger ll charge it when the bike is running 😅

[@OakInch]

The bike keeps the battery charged as long as the battery is functioning correctly. But, cold weather and lack of use degrades batteries. Where I am, it is best to keep bike batteries on a charger that maintains their health and keeps them charged over the Winter.

Im from India and I use a trickle charger to plug in my interceptor when i park it. Its been 2+ years and 31000km the battery doesn't drop below 11volts when i crank it. It helps keep the battery in good shape

[@OakInch]

It charged up and the bike starts. So far so good.
