BMW R1200GSA Lithium battery fail...

Watch in 480p because it loses sound in 720p HD for reason???Purchased the lithium battery few months ago. So far it has been great. Eliminating a couple of pounds (kilos) it makes the bike feel more nimble and agile in corners and lifting it off the ground during off roading. Only problem is it doesnt deal with cold weather. It was (35F , 1C) and takes several tries to crank over. The company will issue me another one but if I get the same results then ill go with a light weight dry lead acid battery.

The cobalt in the battery hardens in the cold and prevents normal chemical reactions that produce electricity, they have the inverse effect when they're heated as they self destruct... get rid of that battery, its only going to give you more headaches.

Yes sir! I got rid of it a few days later and went back to a stock one until I do some more research lol. Have talked with a couple on here about these batteries and like you said, nothing but headaches!

I bielive I have the 14AH. After seeing your vid I showed it to the sales rep at the International Motorcycle show up in Seattle WA and told him this needs to be corrected. Said I can pick one up at the shop in Sunnyvale CA or they will mail me one and I mail back the old one. Yea youtube has been funky today. Wouldnt let me reply to comments on other vids and this vid has to be watched in 480p for sound. I tried watching it in 720p and it slows down then freezes up??

[ridethworld]

Looks like the same issue. Are you running the 18AH? They are recommending their new 21AH now. The audio is cut out of about half of the video btw...
