Being a #oleguy and slow adapter, stock Yuasa for me. Lithium's disadvantages outweigh their advantages IMO. Their biggest draw seems to be light weight but I don't care about 6 lbs on a 1900 lb. Talon.
That being said - I was a member on a motorcycle site and an electrical wizard took it upon hisself to test every lithium battery he could find, using his knowledge and very expensive test equipment - his findings showed that Antigravity and EarthX were far and away better than their competitors. He did this for several years before losing interest in the project.
I'm toocheap frugal to spend two or three times as much for the same function.

I'm too
im assuming then u didn't drop a $600 lithium battery in your truck as well - lol...

I recommend that you change your username to ID-10T. 🤣 Or maybe PEBCAK.

I like Antigravity lithium batteries. I'm still on my original Yuasa in my Talon but when it's time to replace it I'll gladly switch to an AG lithium. I bought my first Antigravity battery 10 years ago and it's still going strong in one of my dual sport bikes.
Some good info in this thread if you haven't seen it.

I decided to go with a lithium battery.
Well, finally something stopped working on the Talon before it stopped working on the rzr. The battery went 👋 after just over a year, go figure only has a 1 year warranty. After researching there’s not a lot out there. I ended up ultimately going with the a lithium Antigravity battery. It has a...

Thats a good battery. Put one in one of my sleds a while back. Been fantastic even in sub zero temps. Ill get one for my P1 or Talon if i ever need a change
I use Antigravity with there restart (and it worked the when I've ran my battery to low). I have 3 of them in our Talons and love them so far. I feel they help the electrical system on the Talon. I bought them all from Dell's and had good pricing/service from them.

How did you know you used the reserve start feature? Is it automatic or do you have to push something on the battery?

There's 2 ways you can do it on the Restart featured batteries. When the battery is discharged below a certain threshold (I dont know the exact voltage) it will go into a sleep mode to protect further discharge. To activate the reserve you either push the restart button on the battery, or if access is difficult/limited you can activate the reserve by momentarily touching a 12v source (a 9v battery will work) to the terminals and that will wake it up. Many people use an SAE lead to their motorsport battery, so you can either make a simple pigtail to plug in a pocket 9v battery, or buy a switched version from AG.

Yes I pulled the cover real quick and hit the button. It fired right up! @Lil_Steve has the how too covered!!)
You won't be disappointed!! I actually think that it helps with the power steering and other voltage dependant things on the Talon. The lithium does not have as much voltage fluctuations when the rpms drop.....at least I am paying attention to it.
Many times lithium batteries are advertised to have huge cranking amp ratings, and they do. They can put out big amps in a massive burst, but often they don’t have the same amp hour capacity of a lead acid battery.
So they’re great for starting, but they’ll drain quickly when winching or using other high amp accessories for prolonged periods.
A hard winch, even with the engine running, might drain it to the point where clutches get unhappy.
