Starting/Battery/Cables

Have had the typical intermitent starting problems with my 4s for some time.

Replaced the cables with the set from Powerlet and that is a BIG improvement.

Final project is to replace the tired, weak battery.

Anyone have suggestions and/or experience with the new Lithium types or any of the lead/acid.

I've seen pics of the Shorai Lithium terminals and they don't look very robust.

Thanks

Travers

The latest batch of Shorai batteries have very beefy terminals - although I have never had any problems with the old ones.
I'm using Shorai batteries on three of my bikes (one which is the ST4S) and have Speedcell batteries on two others.
I use the Shorai batteries now because it has a protection circuit to protect it against overheating/overcharging.
