[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 176925, member: 456"] If one reads about the charging requirements of Li ion batteries then it would seem that they should not be used unless one has a special charger to use with them. On many sailing boats where they are used many users go to the trouble of having a DC to DC charger to take power from the lead acid batteries to charge the Li ion ones. When people started to fit this type of battery to bikes using a Walkernator, which is just a normal car alternator fitted to a Vin, I was originally worried about the lifetime of these batteries. I recently bought cheap battery charger and that even has a position on it for use with Li ion batteries. However, after several years of use it seems that whatever we should be doing in an ideal world we do get away with it on out bikes. Tim (Vibrac) has had his system for over a year. There are other riders who have been using this combination for five or more years and it would be good to hear from them whether any of them have suffered from premature battery failure. [/QUOTE]
