can i use this lithium battery on my gl1200?

 

[Bryanlj]

I wouldnt as the regulation of charging needs to be presice for lithium batteries

 

[RambozoClown]

Does it have a built-in BMS?

I would say that you will ruin the Battery, unless it has an extremely good BMS in it....

Even so, I would go AGM instead.... stay with what works.

What Is BMS?
Thanks for your suggestions.

better than a normal battery.

BMS for Litium Ion Batteries, means Battery Maintenance System, and that is extremely important.
not all LI batteries are built to the same standards.

The OKYAMI LIYZ10S like the one you have installed has a BMS built into the battery, so you should be good to go.

This is the site for this battery, it gives you the specs: OKYAMI Lithium Battery LITZ10S

the linked site has plenty of tags, keywords, but few specs. 210 cca is listed beside a yuasa tag. but i would not use that battery. the lack of info, super low price, equals lack of integrity in my book. AGM works and will not destroy your charging system, starter, sensitive electronics or burn down your house.

It's a crap shoot on LI batteries. Larger bikes seem to go thru em like beer thru the kidneys. High quality ones that have a BMS installed are not exempt from the large current draw failures it seems. I've stayed with a AGM on my Ol Wing.
Perhaps you can gives us a Report on your experiences as it ages.

There's an undersize AGM battery in my bike (there's a piece of 1x6 board behind the battery to keep it from sliding around in the battery box) that was in the bike when I bought it 6 years ago. Who knows when the PO put it in there but after 6+(+++?) years it is still going strong. I keep it on a battery tender if parked more than a week.

We'll see how it does this spring when riding season opens, but so far no indication of it giving up the ghost yet..... I've had the bike out a couple times this winter...

Hopefully the Battery Tender has a setting for lithium batteries. The require a higher charging voltage than flooded or AGM.
