@Navydad - Bummer, Anti-Gravity website only lists BRP ATV's and UTV's. And I did a search on just the battery model and it didn't list anything at all :gaah:

My 2016 RT is just now giving me grief about starting, so I'm hoping to get one before it goes completely. I was looking at the Lithium-Ion from Batteries Plus, anyone with experience or opinions on it?

Thanks.

What is the main driver for you to look at getting a Li-on battery? You've gotten 4+ years out the OEM haven't you? The general consensus here is that from the standpoint of value for the $ the Yuasa is hard to beat. You just have to treat them properly. In my experience with both motorcycles and ATVs the Yuasa delivers. Any brand of battery will serve up a bummer every once in awhile.

FWIW, I gave up on Yuasa when they priced themselves out of my range. I get my batteries from Wally World and they last 4-5 years and
run about 1/2 the cost, or less, of a Yuasa.

My experience with Lithium batteries is they save weight & space and supposed to hold charge longer than AGM. I did it for space to stuff relay & wad of wires back there.

LITHIUM DOWNSIDE:
- They don't like cold temps <35F. They need to be warmed up by turning lights, etc on for a couple minutes when 'dead'.
Happened to me on my sport tourer in Fairplay Co. 8am 26F bike dead, left key on w/DRLs & heated gear on for 3 mins, boom! Started like normal (but a scary few minutes). That problem may not be an issue when you live close to the equator.
- You need a special charger made for LiIon.
- 3x more $$$ than AGM

What brand? AJC, Mighty Max?

EverStart is the latest name in the Interceptor. And the one in the RV is also from WallyWorld and was
bought in 2015.

I never seemed to get more life from the Yuasa than from other brands, and the price was always waaaay
up there. Just didn't seem to be worth the premium.
