Thank you for your explanations! I'm sure that there are people who have had great results with Lithium-ion, but I've heard exactly the same from other motorcycle electronics manufacturers that it's not an universal solution. It's great to hear the honest opinions from the people who actually have first hand long-term experience with them, not like some stores that are just trying to sell stuff.
Another downside of the cheap acid battery is the breather tube venting. Mine popped off on a ride without me noticing, and I ended up having parts of my frame, exhaust, and battery box ruined with acid damage!
I have a '76 CB360T. Since the AGM holds charge longer between uses does it help or hurt to trickle charge? I have a Battery Tender smart charger. Thanks for all the good videos!!
Those early 70s Honda's were some well made motorcycle engines. In 75 i rode a cb175 from austin Tx. to southeast Missouri. and just over a year ago rode a suzuki savage with a 1972 cb 350 motor on it from new orleans to s.e. Missouri, Keep your valves adjusted, and the timing chain tight , and just keep on truckin. 🤪👍
For the battery that you run in your personal setup, what changes do I need to make to the oem style battery wires? This would be my first time installing a battery with spade/f2 connectors. Thanks Common Motor !
Thanks for the video. I stay away for Lithium. If you can fit a regular battery in your battery box then do so. Save you tons of money. Battery + charger + regulator. Yes maybe is 5-6 pounds less but it that really that much. Your bike wont hate you for it just save you some headaches.
It's possible but I've never done it. It seems like it might take up more room than just a bit bigger AGM battery that can crank the starter by itself.
Hello, another great advice. I've made my pristine CB360T run like new following your carburator cleaning tutorial. As I'd like to order the Motobatt product through a canadian reseller do you have the exact part number?
Im in the process of a cafe rebuild on a cb360. Lithium ion seems like such a great option to keep that area behind the air filters wide open! Now you have me second guessing 😢
Well thats why we made the video! We wanted to show you that there's tiny SLA batteries and tell you a bit more. Just research it and you'll come to a good solution. I have the full size Motobatt battery on my person cl360 right now and I think I've just about figured out how to hide it under the rear on the factory seat haha.
@@Common-motor This is great info thanks! I did not know the AGM SLA was an option, and see your using the 5ah, which is so small I don't know why I would use a lithium knowing this. A few questions Why 5ah and whats the benefit of high ah at the cost of size increase? Can you go down to 3ah? Is there a video on the customizing of F1 terminals to work?
Yes and yes! We have both a motobatt battery that will fit the cb175 and a video on how to install our reg/rec on the cb175. Message our support for them if you can’t find them!
Hi I’m sure this has been asked and answered, but I have to ask. I bought the Motobatt QuadFlex Battery that you recommend. I have had it for about a month and I have not installed in on the bike as of yet. Should I charge it while it is on my bench before I install it?
Thats never a bad idea so you start with a full charge. Would just recommend using either the motobatt brand chargers or a quality motorcycle specific battery charger.
I just took a look at it actually, it shows in stock currently because we have a few cj360 specific batteries here. We have some of the normal on order that should be here within the week. Once they get here you'll be able to add it to your cart. -Caleb
I appreciate your complete knowledge on this and all subjects. I do have one request, you have a tendency to drift off into almost a mumble. Keep the words coming out clear for old F---s like me haha. Thanks for a great video!
In your video you just said that your MotoBatt batteries have a 2 year no questions asked replacement warranty. MotoBatt has a 1 year warranty. Do you extend the warranty or did you misspeak?
@@corvetteshorts4670 I did not know that,i thought a battery was just used to start anything (car, motorcycle, airplane) and then it just became a small source of charging while the bigger system took over ,learn something new every day
Love you guys. Have a '65 305 Dream and just bought a '76 CB360T with less than 4k original miles!
Keep these vids coming. Just recently picked up a CB450 K4. Your store and these vids have really helped bring my bike back to life!

The combo regular/rectifier is an absolute must for the old twins.
I installed MOTOBATT batteries in my CB 650C and Eu 3000I generator. Well worth the price.

Does that COMBO recitifer work with a CB77 or is it too old like me?
Brenden, please do a video on rebuilding a starter motor!
what do you reccomend for the mighty mb5?
Thanks for the video. I stay away for Lithium. If you can fit a regular battery in your battery box then do so. Save you tons of money. Battery + charger + regulator. Yes maybe is 5-6 pounds less but it that really that much. Your bike wont hate you for it just save you some headaches.
I have a lead battery, as my 450 is my 2nd bike the battery is always on the trickle charge! Next time I'll get the motobatt ! Thanks for the advice.
For the CB17, it's the Motobatt MBTX7U 12V 8AH right?
How does my old regulator/rectifier work with these newer batteries? Do I need to upgrade?
Can you go into further detail about the wiring changes that will need to be made to use the 12v?
What would fit into a Honda cb50j
Any advice for cb650c????? Thanks for sharing your knowledge I appreciate it 👍🏼
Crucial question,, would connect two SLA batteries in parallel provide the cold crack amps needed for electric start??
It's possible but I've never done it. It seems like it might take up more room than just a bit bigger AGM battery that can crank the starter by itself.
Trying to order the motobatt on your site for a cl350, but it's out of stock. Will they be in soon?
Can you mount the AGM batteries on the backs? Instead of the upright position, that is.

A few questions
Why 5ah and whats the benefit of high ah at the cost of size increase? Can you go down to 3ah?
Is there a video on the customizing of F1 terminals to work?
Awesome video. Answered so many of my questions
What battery do I need for my 1975 Honda scrambler cl 360?😓
That little Duracell can fire up a CB500T, I'm guessing kick-start only?
Hi. I have a 1973 usa cb175. Which battery would you recommend? Motorbatt? Also, can the rectifier, upgrade be done on a 175?
Yes and yes! We have both a motobatt battery that will fit the cb175 and a video on how to install our reg/rec on the cb175. Message our support for them if you can’t find them!
My 73cl350 enjoys your vids
A little add for led acid. Position or orientation limits
Hi, would this apply to cj 360 ? (No starter)
Yes!

BTW your Website says MotorAtt battery in stock but when go to cart it is out of stock. Any idea when its available?

1:00 The "positives" and "negatives" of them 🤣

Cool, I learned exactly what I came for
I dont know if I can betray my 100+ year old lead acid bro.
Supper videos 👍
Who are the losers that are giving this video a thumbs down?
Pro tip: you dont need a battery. Just bump start everytime.
Pro Tip: CB350s run like ass without a battery, so get a battery.....
@@corvetteshorts4670 I was joking. And is it really that bad?
@@305kelton Dude, it's the worst. Basically putt along at 20 mph. The stock mag sucks, bank $XX.XX a year for a new battery.
