WPS Featherweight Lithium Batteries Promise 90% Charge in 6 Minutes
The WPS Featherweight Lithium batteries come with a heap of advantages over the classic ones. For starters, they are 50-70% lighter than traditional units, and have no dangerous components, such as sulphuric acid or heavy metals (lead).

Give there's no liquid electrolyte and therefore no maintenance needed, the WPS Featherweight Lithium units can be mounted in pretty much any position, and that's one thing custom bike builders will love.

Western power Sports claims that the Featherweight Lithium batteries also boast 6 to 12 times more cycle life compared to lead-acid units and provide more amps than traditional batteries, thus making starting easier, especially in cold weather.

The dealers will surely enjoy the longer shelf life, as these batteries only need recharging about once a year. And when recharging time comes, get ready for the real fun: they only need 6 minutes for recharging to 90% of their full capacity, so your customers could be rolling out with a new battery in no time. And with an embedded testing light, everyone can tell the charging status in a couple of seconds, for avoiding deep discharge.

Prices start around $80 (€59) and go up to $300 (€224) for huge units.
