12V LiFePO4 Powersports Battery

The Shorai LFM14A1-BS12 is a 12V Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Powersports battery, engineered as a lightweight and high-performance alternative to traditional lead-acid batteries. Constructed with Shorai-proprietary eXtreme-Rate Lithium Iron prismatic cells, this battery offers a remarkable 200-210 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) while weighing only 1.94 lbs. The battery provides a 14 Ah lead-acid equivalent capacity and a 4.5 Ah actual capacity, with 59.4 Watt-hours. A key feature is the integrated Shorai Sentry BMS (Battery Management System). This intelligent system actively monitors the battery's voltage and automatically disconnects the terminals if the voltage drops too low, preventing the deep discharge that can permanently damage the battery. This protective feature extends the battery's lifespan and ensures reliability. This battery is designed as a direct, drop-in replacement for your OEM battery, meaning no modifications to your stock charging system are necessary. However, Shorai notes that their batteries require a charging system output of 13.1 Volts or higher at idle and must not exceed 15.2 volts at maximum output. Benefits include no more dead batteries, as it holds a charge for up to a year without maintenance. It offers twice to four times the service life of lead-acid batteries, faster cranking for better starts, and a super-fast recharge rate. The LiFePO4 chemistry ensures it produces no explosive gasses during charging, contains no lead or acid, and is environmentally friendly. The battery is housed in a military-spec Carbon Fiber Composite Case and is backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
