Ha!
II has been flawless. I run lots of electrical stuff, but also have a voltmeter and stay within the limits of the system. I figure with a 'shunt' type alternator I may as well use the power for something than have the regulator shunt it anyway.
It is always on a Battery Tender when not out on the road.

The Shorai web site says the Deltran battery Tender is just fine.
You just can't use one that has anti- sulfation modes.
(Well, that's what I read on their website anyway)
I will probably buy one of those for KTM dirtbike (to drop a bit of weight with more power)- and perhaps the Multi (still has original 2005 batt)

> I installed the Shorai battery last December on my 2002 4s. You really need their special tender, which I obtained in March. The cost of the battery was $168.25 and the tender was $71.95 or $240.20 USD. The weight difference is amazing and I haven't needed to keep this battery on a tender during the riding season. I have used the Shorai tender for extended winter time non-use. The battery comes with a bunch of foam blocks that you can cut to size to fill up the original battery space so the new battery doesn't flop around. As I use LT's fan switch almost all the time riding in the city it doesn't appear to cause any problems with the Shorai.
