Default Ballistic Performance EVO2 Lightweight Motorcycle Batteries

Riders Discount is now a stocking dealer for Ballistic Performance EVO2 aftermarket motorcycle batteries. These aren’t relabeled shrink-wrapped store-bought batteries either, but rather hand-made in the USA lithium iron phosphate batteries that are engineered to be extremely light, durable and powerful with every component designed specifically for use in high-performance motorcycles. If you’re looking to save a significant amount of weight, and improve your motorcycle’s starting performance, look no further than Ballistic Performance EVO2 batteries. Superbikes are designed to be as light as possible yet they still employ rather arcane lead-acid batteries that weigh a lot. Depending on the application, you can expect to save five pounds of weight just by switching batteries on the BMW! This is a considerable amount of mass that will be noticeably absent the first time you ride the bike with this battery installed. From a maintenance standpoint, a conventional lead-acid battery will lose its charge even during short-term storage which is why trickle chargers are so popular today. Ballistic Performance lightweight lithium iron phosphate motorcycle batteries have a very low self-discharge rate and can withstand indoor storage for a year or more with no maintenance required.

Another big advantage of this aftermarket motorcycle battery other than its light weight is its power output performance. Pound-for-pound, conventional lead-acid batteries do not transfer electricity nearly as efficiently as Ballistic Performance batteries and consequently, must be built oversized to make up for this. The result is a battery that weighs significantly more yet provides less starting power output than a Ballistic Performance motorcycle battery. And unlike some aftermarket battery manufacturers that want you to buy their expensive charging equipment, Ballistic Performance batteries come with clear instructions to fully charge their batteries in fifteen minutes with conventional battery chargers.

Nineteenth century lead-acid battery technology does not belong in your bike – step into the new millennium with an EVO2 battery by calling TJ at 866.931.6644 x 817 to order or send a message to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM with BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE EVO2 BATTERIES in the subject line and we’ll get back to you right away.

Each EVO2 battery comes fully charged out of the box, simply plug in and you’re ready to go. The high-strength plastic chassis provides a durable package for the LiFePO4 cathode that’s up to the challenge of the most aggressive riding. Plus its small size frees up room within your bike’s battery box for popular aftermarket tuning equipment like a Power Commander or a Bazzaz Performance tuning kit.


Smaller and lighter than your bike’s OEM battery, Ballistic Performance EVO2 batteries plug directly into your motorcycle’s OEM wire harness. No special connection hardware required. Simply plug in and ride! Best of all, unlike some manufacturers of lightweight batteries, Ballistic Performance provides the precise charging recipe in the packaging of each battery so you can quickly charge the device anytime you feel necessary.

Is this on top of normal usage? I mean, can I just plug this thing in and forget about it, letting the bike's stock charging system charge it up? Or do I have to charge it at regular intervals?

That would only be if you discharged the battery. As long as the bikes charging system is working it will keep the battery at peak performance.

We saw a huge benefit with this new battery technology last summer with a couple of our trail bikes. In the tough sections of trail in Northern Michigan the standard lead acid battery would discharge, and because of the tight trails we were on the bikes were not being run long enough to fully recharge the battery. We installed the new style battery and we no longer had that problem. The quick charge time kept the bikes rolling without issue.

The stock battery is 10 Amp hrs. The alternator is 434 Watt at 6,000 rpm, sized accordingly for the requisite controls, lighting and the fuel pump (correct me if I am wrong)

I use heated clothing that is rated at 90W (jacket liner) + 25W (gloves) + 35W(pant liner). Do you think the 8 or 12 cell would work for me? Could you PM me the price for ring terminal model?
