They need to be charged every single time you start the vehicle, and I've never seen a vehicle-type Li-anything battery with balance leads.

Define "long" storage. After a year or two, it might need a recharge, but not a full charge. It depends on the temperature. They need a specific charger if they are raw batteries. The ones sold as vehicle batteries have a charge controller built in.

Lots of people also use them in RVs. If you believe their numbers, once properly configured, the "cost" is purely up front. The total dollars for amps for time is actually much lower. I have no idea how true that is for bike batteries, but suspect that it's actually cheaper to go LiFePo4 if your bike is a keeper. I've only put lead-acid into things I'm not sure about keeping. I suspect the trailer is a 1-3 year experiment to see which way we go next (bigger, or nothing). It got two GC2 6V batteries. Otherwise I would have made a different choice.

That's what I put in the K1200RS. It cranked like I'd plugged the battery cables into a wall outlet. Interesting side note...this is actually GOOD for all the components involved. Motors, contactors, and related items all last longer if you provide lots of voltage and they are spinning at their native speed. When motors slow down due to voltage loss, current goes up.

I would +1 all of that.

By a huge amount. Only brand I've used is Battery Tender. When my current standard bike battery dies, I will buy another BT brand LiFePo4.

Setting the gears is a black art, not science. The rest is straightforward. I'm currently putting off a re-gear of the Jeep because the one dude everyone in AZ went to died.

I need a "no step on snek" poster in that room. There must be a large file I can print. I didn't think about how bare it is until I looked back at my own photo.

The TV is on a rotating mount so it can face anywhere. The dogs love to watch Secret Life of Pets while they are on the treadmill. Our bigger dog HATES the weiner dog though, and likes the rest of them.

Yes.

I love my Axo Striker boots for just that reason, and because I can pop them off quickly to put on other shoes. Which is really what you should do. Nothing with good riding protection is flexible enough for all-day wear.

Pretty sure it's the second. But I forgot what the first was.

I can safely say that my Jeep has never been garaged. Because you don't understand basic English?

Stop lying, it's your bike.

Hah, no, almost 400 miles apart. Or were you talking to the bikes? Every whitebird needs an Italian mistress. #AllBirdMatter

Uh, you forgot the part about surrounding them with guns. I must have a picture that includes them. Hmm, only one, and it's...a pellet rifle?

Hacienda Heights, CA.

If that's true, then it's another difference from the normal ones. They are bead-blasted and anodized clear. I would love to see a brushed one!

It's sandblasted aluminum.

LOL, I'm in. So yeah, for anyone who doesn't know, you can swap bands on these in 15 seconds by pressing a button, and really nice bands are on Amazon for $10-20. I've been using a soft fabric clone of the loop for a couple years, ultra comfortable. $12.

Maybe you should describe what the Nike edition means. I don't know myself. I think it's just the band, which is hideous, and if there are no other penalties then people may be more likely to buy if they know a $12 band can fix that. I already have a 3, but you should buy a 4 and then get bored of it and sell it...

On occasion, Walmart stores have a higher price on certain things. They will price match the site but you have to know to ask. Amazon oil...this thread could be five pages long in a few days...

Weird, it's always $19.97 here. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Shell-Rotella-T6-5W-40-Full-Synthetic-Heavy-Duty-Diesel-Engine-Oil-1-gal/102646780

Link? I find the 1 gallon at the same price, and the 2.5 at $10 more than Walmart.
