For the last 7 years I have been running my Honda XR650L with a Shorai LFX09L2-BS12 battery.

If you like lithium/iron/phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, any battery with a C.C.A. rating of 120, or higher, should easily start the Zongshen RX3. However, if you are running a lot of electrical accessories, you might need the higher Ah capacities provided by the lead/acid batteries.

I only run heated grips on my Honda XR650L.

The smaller, LiFePO4 batteries will easily crank the RX3 engine, but they lack the current reserve capacity of the larger, lead/acid batteries. Therefore, the smaller LiFePO4 batteries might be drained, and damaged, by the heavy current demand of running many electrical accessories.
