1.76lb and I don't know if it can be charged after full drain. I don't expect that to ever happen...

oh9, I been reading up on that batt, keep an eye on it. I noticed a lot of guys with modern bikes love it and guys that used it on old stuff or lawnmowers had them catch fire, if your regulator gets old it could cause it to over charge and lithium batts wanna catch fire when that happens. They need to put a chip in all of them that prevents that **** from happening, they are all kinda learning as they go. right now, it seems the Shorai is in the lead with this technology so I'm sticking with the expensive one for now, hopefully the prices will come down once they learn the best way to make these things.

main reason I went with the shorai is that you can drain them down to 100% dead and the special charger will bring them back due to the lack of actual "cells".. its just a matrix of millions of little cells..

You have to ride for that to happen....
