Not sure where to put this but if you are running one of these batteries heads up!
Thank you! This is a bit concerning.
I ran this in my 500 for about 3000 miles >
Ballistic Performance Component Batteries use the latest, state of the art lithium ferrous energy
It went dead and Ballistic is out of business. That battery had a custom installation. Nothing on the market would fit the same form factor so I purchased an antigravity battery and did a new custom installation.
Antigravity Batteries offers the Lightest, most Powerful and Technologically advanced Lithium-Ion
The post above has me searching the internet this morning and I will do some more . Can one of you very smart scientists in plain english spell out the differences between the following?
1. Ballistic - lithium ferrous phosphate
2. Antigravity - lithium ion
3. The above post specifies LiPO
Are they all the same?
Certainly my biggest concern is my antigravity lithium-ion battery the same as the outlawed LiPO?
Thank you!
This is a fairly good primer on LIPO vs Li-ION battery technology.

Thanks for that.
So reading that there I get there is similarities between LiPo and Li-ION but they are different. Maybe this would help me out or make me feel a little better if the answer is what I want it to be.
If someone went to an event where the LiPo is outlawed, and they had a Li-ION battery, would they be allowed to participate with the Li-ION battery?

From what I get from the above notice... yes LI-ION batteries are acceptable.
I am pretty sure that the batteries I use are LiPo. I use RC/drone batteries from Turnigy. Admittedly I don't run in MotoAmerica but I will have to look at their LiFePo4 batteries as replacements. With a 4s (4 cells) their LIPO is 13.2v and the LiPo is 14.8 volts which I like for the fatter spark energy.
They do get very inflated over time though, so when this square brick becomes fat and blaoted I will change to LiFePo4 and get a new charger to keep it all in one piece.
