I would also not install a lithium battery without first upgrading to a mosfet Reg Rec with the sense circuit eliminated. This will ensure the proper charge voltage across the RPM range with much greater stability. Otherwise the lifespan of the battery could be compromised.
Just one example of a decent affordable battery. A couple people on here use this one. https://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Max-Ba...e%2C195&sr=1-6
I use a Gel variant from the same company and have been quite pleased with it so far. |
That is the battery I am using and works perfect. Dan is correct. If you read through some of the reviews on the lithium battery you will notice quite a few claiming the batteries didn't last a few weeks or and month. That's due to the voltage being high and overcharging. Even with the Gel battery you will need to check the output of your charging system but should be okay. Even though it is a better battery, high voltage will kill it too but can withstand much higher voltage than the lithium battery. That said, I would get either the battery in the link or the Gel battery that Megadan mentioned. Keep it simple.
