Shorai

I have two Shorai batteries, one in my 03 Kawasaki ZRX 1200 and one in my 06 HD Road glide. I bought the one in my Kawi about 2 years ago.
What an AMAZING product. about a third the size of my regular lead battery and weighs about a pound. Seriously… it’s like picking up a empty display battery. It’s so light and small that I was able to mount it under the SIDE PANEL on my ZRX, freeing up a TON of room under the seat. Tons of CCA and starts it up like THAT even if it’s been sitting for months!
So I shelled out about $ 275 for one for my Road Glide (yep they’re pricey) and same thing… Smaller and probably shaved at LEAST 15 lbs off. Fires my big V Twin up faster than any battery I’ve ever had.
Customer service.
I had a issue about 6 months ago… called up… a woman answered the phone (Marianne) and talked me through the issue. It was a simple fix and I rather enjoyed the conversation and being «schooled by a girl».
Then…this weekend… the HD wouldn’t start and I screwed things up…(hooked to a running car to jump for a extended period of time… a no no for LiPo batteries) and kIlled my Shorai.
Damn.
I got into work this morning and called Shorai.
Marianne (Hi!) answered the phone and listened to my sad story before informing me that she was boxing up a new replacement and shipping it out to me TODAY. She even remembered speaking to me 6 months ago…
What more could you ask for from a company.
Oh yeah… and she schooled me AGAIN today about motorcycles and batteries. Sigh.
